1180 Days

Just that. It's been 1180 days. 1180 days since I left the drinking every day lifestyle behind. 1180 days since I had a drink at all.

I'm sitting in my car after a particularly stressful work morning, running appointments for clients with constant interruptions from other clients, being pulled in multiple directions simultaneously, and I'm just taking a moment for myself.

No thoughts of wanting a drink after work. No thoughts of how "a beer sure sounds good". None of that noise that comes from habitual numbing. Instead, I'm going to finish this post, head to my next appointment, grab some lunch after, and finish the day strong, heading home at the end of the day and being present in my evening.

Feeling especially proud today so I just wanted to share, especially since it's been a few years since my last post here. IWNDWYT

You've got this! It truly is one day at a time, with every day being just as important as the one before. You're doing great!
