I'm fast approaching my record of sobriety

I've been through these sorts of milestones a few times. All that anxiety, excitement and buildup. For me, the date comes...it's here and it passes...and it's never what I expect it to be. Then again what is, when you're on the sober train and that's part of why I became sober...to break free of the bottle after bottle repeat. When my milestone's arrive, my addict brain speaks up and tells me "You've made it! We're here! Let's celebrate by doing the one thing that was ruining your fucking life!" For some crazy moments...it all sounds wonderful to just let go and indulge...but seriously for me, the celebration started when I put down that bottle and the party just gets better and better.

So, I'm sticking with the party train that I'm currently on. No need for booze. I would say to you, "Stick with it...see what else this life of clarity wants to put on your table cause the alternative is just dead end fucking boring."
