46 Days

Not really a "milestone" but a day to rejoice anyhow. God has given me an amazing strength these past 46 days, a strength I didn't know I was capable of. There have been difficult days, as to be expected, but the feeling of sobriety beats a night out drinking by a long shot. I have been able to truly connect with my loved ones instead of phoning them in the wee hours of the night searching for answers in my alcholic haze. My family and friends have been SO supportive, encouraging me every day. I have also lost 19 pounds in my quest towards a healthy lifestyle. I have been following the Weight Watchers plan and doing 30 minutes of cardio five days a week. I have never felt better and I am looking forward to the most special Christmas of my life.
