60 days sober

[RainCaster]

So small, compared to the others in my AA group, but for me it's a great beginning.

12. +1. One day at a time.. Thats all we have..

I hated all those platitudes... One day at a time.. do the next right thing, You can't get drunk if you don't have the first one.. Keep it simple KISS...
The interesting thing for me was that it worked and I use it to this day.. YMMV

4. It is a very large step compared to those who have not been able to do it.

Good on you!

5. It's a huge accomplishment.

Don’t compare yourself to others, just look at your own life. It takes time, that’s for sure. But it will keep getting better. As opposed to drinking when it always gets worse over the long run. Find a group where you can feel at home and keep coming back.

6. congrats!!!

Keep going, it gets easier. Just do the next right thing a day at a time. Sometimes just one day is a great beginning. 60 is awesome!

7. RainCaster - one day is the goal. It's all u can control.

You are winning the lottery on an everyday basis. The last 60 days is your history, be proud.

8. Good on you!. I bet you feel relief at no longer eff-ing up. Plus soon you'll realize being

sober while others have had a drink or two can be fun too... They get so sweet. Keep it up!!!!

15. Well done!

[PatrickforB]

16. A day at a time.

I'm a recovering cigarette addict, and I can never have them again. My health won't permit it.

After a decade without them, I have whole weeks when I don't think about them at all.

You'll get there too. A day at a time!

Good luck to you and very best wishes.

[jlerollblues]

17. Right on!

I nearly died from the shit, woke up after 5 days in a coma after a BP of 60/40. Working on day 273 now. Keep it rolling, my Karma is with you!

[niyad]

18. Congratulations.

[irisblue]

19. I found it is quite something to hold that chip with the clean & sober days on it

Well done Raincaster, well done

[gay texan]

20. Hell yeah baby!

Keep hitting those meetings, and lean on your sponsors when you have a bad day.

60 days is gonna turn into 365, and 365 is going to turn into years.

Dont know you from a can of chartreuse paint, but I'm very proud of you. Keep it up!!!!

[BlueIdaho]

21. The first 90 days are the hardest.

Just think - your two thirds of your way through the toughest part of getting and staying sober! Congratulations and keep coming back!

By the way - the person that got up earliest today has the most sobriety.

[justhanginon]

22. Good news. Keep up the good work.

[c-rational]

23. Congrats.

[Moostache]

24. Here's to you...congrats

Hope today is 61 ... match Roger Maris (sad baseball reference...but great job to you)

[rurallib]

25. That is big. Congratulations

days stretch to weeks to months and then years in a hurry.

Christmas Day it will be something like 152 days!

[New Haven]

26. the newcomer is the most important person in the room

you are an inspiration to the others with more time because it shows them------and you-----that the program works ----nothing will so insure your sobriety as much as helping others --get an assignment---be a door greeter --greet the new people----

as far as climbing the seniority ladder AA is the only organization that gives the newcomer the title of "Chairman" -----setting them up and putting them away----good luck to you

[Tetrachloride]

27. didn't know this. ))

[dlk]

31. Congratulations!

What you’ve accomplished is very difficult and comparing yourself to others can be a slippery slope. Your path is unique and every day is an opportunity for additional success. Good luck!

[magicksmom]

32. Not small RainCaster!

Getting here is one of the hardest things to do. It is so healing to share my deepest & darkest moments surrounded by people who nod in understanding rather than clutch pearls and gasp. Welcome to the club & 👏 congrats.

[wendyb-NC]

33. Congratulations!

Keep on keeping on, one day at a time.

[bif]

35. Kudos! That's huge!

The phrase that kept me going was: Don't focus on who you were, but who you want to be.

[Sanity Claws]

36. Congratulations!

Mazel Tov!

[Permanut]

38. Huge accomplishment..

I've put 27 years of days together, and it was the hardest, and best, thing I ever did.

Congratulations.

[Rhiannon12866]

39. Congratulations!

I know what it's like, I've been there, too, so I know what it takes. I'd see people get coins for months of sobriety and didn't think I could do it myself. The milestone that sticks in my mind was when my friend ran the meeting and she asked me to pass out the coins - I gave out only one that night, I was able to give myself a coin for six months.

Hang in there, as the others have said, you have a great start. And I went from wishing I could get a coin to being the one who orders the coins for my group. And you deserve one from me. If I can do it, anyone can - I just kept coming back and celebrated 12 years last April.

Well done!

40. Congrats

[Bristlecone]

41. Congrats! 60 days is a long time. Don't sell yourself short

And don’t feel like you need to compare yourself to others in the rooms. They all had 60 days. Then 90, then 6 mos, then a year, etc. Keep moving forward ODAT.

Knowing you just got 60 helped me today. Congrats again.
