Almost at the first week mark.
I find myself doing more in 6 days for my recovery than I’ve ever done an any 30 day program I went to.
I find myself digging deep and accepting more truths about myself than I ever did in ANY of the 7 dam Rehabs I’ve gone to. Especially the last place I went to. Me and 3 other clients found a way to DoorDash alcohol to the facility and smuggle it in, and we got fucked up for 3 days straight. And as I’m typing this it’s even more confirmation that I, I , I am my own problem. I cannot blame anyone or anything. I did a good 1.5 hours of step work this morning, and I think it’s going to be a good day. Filled with peace, and opportunity.

Wow!
That’s great, RecoveratedWoman!
I’ve found that the “self work” and the spiritual work have made the difference for me. …also recognizing, accepting, and dealing with the depression I was going through was also a help.
Ultimately, for me what it came down to is self honesty.

Hey, 
Your sobriety date is the day after my birthday. You have 8+ days now! Great! 
Here’s a portion of a text I’ve written to my sponsor. This was after watching the Novak link you posted.
“Yep,
7 months and 7 days. I don’t count. After the first 7 days I stopped counting. I believed that if I’d make a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday…
…all the way through Sunday then every day thereafter would be a repeat of what God has already helped me accomplish.”

Good day today???
Even if it wasn’t it’s better than it could have been.

I hear you. Feeling like the person next to you doesn’t understand what you’re carrying can be isolating for sure. I’m glad you shared this instead of holding it all in.
