Just checking out this app. I’m sober 147 days and have been up and down, thankfully mostly up. Life is good since I left residential treatment in March of this year. I’ve secured a new, pretty decent job. I am making plans to move to a safer area into a tiny but cute apartment house. I just turned 44 a couple of weeks ago, the first one in a long time with no alcohol. Which I never thought would be fun without drinking, but I had the best birthday ever.
I’m just grateful for the progress that I’ve made in such a short amount of time. I would’ve never thought last year at this time that I would be feeling as great as I do now. I do struggle though with anger and mood swings lately, but I feel it’s normal-I’m still learning how to regulate my emotions. I’m just looking for other people in similar situations to talk with. And, I’m just glad to be here.
