500 days

Today marks 500 days of sobriety for me and as always, I am insanely proud of myself. I find that the more sober time I log, the prouder I am of myself. I am also exceedingly grateful that I was blessed with recovery; when I reflect back on how utterly miserable and hopeless my life had become, I appreciate my recovery even more. If I had to identify the 2 most important benefits that I have gotten from sobriety, I would say they are a sense of pride in myself and being truly present in my interactions with others and time spent alone. I spent far too much wasted time on obsessing, fantasizing, and daydreaming about people and "relationships" that simply didn't matter. Thank God I was able to find a way out of the madness that is known as love and sex addiction. Here's to another 500 days; one day at a time! 😊
