90 Days Sober

90 days sober

90 Days or nearly 3 months sober. I can remember it almost as though it were yesterday. This marked a no-turning-back point in my sobriety. My health and my happiness eventually became too great and too important. This was a very significant time as I realized I was finally in control of what I wanted. I wanted true happiness and I wanted my health back.

Today is 90 days. I do not have any desire to go back. The changes in my everyday life, the changes in learning to deal with my feelings, and the changes I am seeing in my body are reasons to continue this path alone.
It's a process that takes time. The medication was first, the sobriety was second, and the decision to eat healthier and exercise was third. After overcompensating the not drinking by eating I didn't gain weight but wasn't losing it as I had thought would be a part of the process. On November 8, 2016, I began the next step of eating cleaner and moving for my mind and body. I have lost 10lbs, 5% of body fat, 1.5" off my waist, and 1" off my hips. This is just the beginning.
