Day #190

Today is day #190 of my sobriety. On this milestone day, I decided to compare my life today as it was just 1 year ago. One year ago, I was obsessing over a guy who I dated many years ago and who came over to "hang out ". The guy was much younger than me nor did I particularly like him but he was tall and had a beard so what other standards did I need? Lol.
Also, I was talking to several other guys on dating sites and exchanging numbers. I was not far from finding out that I had an STD. (which thankfully was treatable with antibiotics).
Today marks 193 days since I last had sex. I am not talking to or obsessing over any men. I have been going to meetings, engaging in hobbies, spending meaningful time with my family and friends, and getting to know who I truly am. I am free of the obsessions, compulsions, impulsivity, anxiety, and despair of my addiction. I am starting to heal. I can only imagine what the next 190 days will bring!
