120 days; Four MONTHS sober. 🤯 To some, this isn't that big of a deal, but others will get it. This is a monumental number for me. There was a time when 4 DAYS sober was my max. A few years before that, 24 HOURS sober was honestly almost impossible. It's genuinely amazing to me that I've been sober for 4 months today. What started as a #30dayssoberchallenge in February rolled into a Lenten obligation. After that I really wanted to make it to 100 days. Now it's been 120 and I feel so good. I'm ready to have a beer or a glass of wine, but I've said that for the past 20 days and it hasn't happened. It's just not as important in my day-to-day anymore. That fact alone is mind blowing! This time period has been eye opening for me, and a great "reset" for my relationship with alcohol. If you're wondering if you can go sober for any lengthened amount of time, you can. Trust-- if I can, you can. ✌🏻 #100dayssober #4monthssober https://www.instagram.com/p/ByQ3jhMh9dJ/?igshid=qdtu4msg0rs5

100 days sober... so damn thankful... I want to repeat what I said in my “90 days/3 months sober” post - so I’m gonna do just that: Self love is more important than I can put into words - and even typing that makes me feel “egotistical” (I have no self esteem but that’s a whole other issue, don’t mind me.) Truly - loving yourself enough to want to live for you, to want an actual life for you... is everything. Beginning to learn self love, wanting this for myself, and a fire inside is what got me from waiting with open arms to die by the bottle after living by it for so long to finally and truly wanting to live in every sense of the word. There were a few times I was laying on deaths doorstep... but thankfully, I’m here. Is it hard? Of course - but is it worth it? More than I can express. Sobriety is a complete rebirth and a constant battle. I’ve had some horrible things happen (not related to the sobriety) the last few months, and my demons have been trying me hard... but I refuse to let any of it break me. And of course, I’ve been dealing with the demons that drove me into addiction in the first place... There’s been a lot of days spent in bed crying and struggling, but that’s okay, I’m getting through it and I’ll continue to - one day at a time. 🙏🏻 If you’re reading this and thinking “I wish I could get sober...” Trust me, I believe in you, you can do this. I can’t tell you how many posts I saw before recovery and thought to myself “I wish...”, I had been addicted since I was 10-12 years old, I couldn’t imagine living without it... and then I finally wanted sobriety for myself, and here I am. It still shocks me in the most amazing way and I don’t take a moment for granted. You’re worth it - don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Don’t be afraid to reach out 🤝 There is always hope... I sincerely mean that. 💛 #100dayssober #thankful #soberlife #rebirth #soberaf #odaat #justfortoday #fightagainstdepression #soberasfuck #irefuse #5fdp #soberissexy #doitforyou #beproudofyou #loveyourself #youareworthit #beyou #fuckwhatpeoplethink #shineon ✨ #empathlife #metalheadgirl #nightowl #IAmMe #fighter #survivor https://www.instagram.com/p/BvCSnmnHB80/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=7p3rsvrz7eb6

So I’ll admit I’ve been going a bit crazy recently with the drinking, drugs, and other “recreational” state-altering substances recently.  I’ve even tried experimented with sleep deprivation as a way to intensify the intoxication of my trips.  I’ve realized that I’m missing out on a lot of things life has to offer by being fucked up all the time, spent way too much money not only on the substances themselves but on ridiculously expensive things I don’t need when I’m under the influence.  So I’ve made the commitment to undergo an experiment/lifestyle change in which I go completely sober for 100 days.  No weed, no alcohol, no cocaine, no molly, not even a glass of wine at the end of a really long day.  I’ll be detailing my experiences daily––the struggles, triumphs, and spiritual growth in between––in hopes to expose what it’s really like to live sober as a nineteen/twenty year old college student in America today.  Wish me luck, everyone! Cheers! (Or whatever the opposite of that is).

💯💯💯 When you've associated having a good time, the "turn up", relaxing after a long day, unwinding, chillin, a first date, watching a game with the guys, game night, and some of your most wild and memorable nights with a "drink" (or lots of drinks) lol it's hard to imagine enjoying life without your drink of choice. You're just used to it being part of life. You're used to the idea of inviting her to "have a drink" or a friend saying "let's meet up for some drinks" or a Friday night consisting of pre-gaming with the fellas and then hitting the club lit and feeling like haaaann lol. So when you give that up it is definitely a challenge and a huge adjustment, but the other side is so great. No more hangovers, no more blacking out, no more overspending, no more waking up like "damn", no more fights with her cuz you came home at 4am, no more missing work, class, or other obligations. This life isn't for everyone and that's ok. But if you're thinking about it...come on over...this side is so amazing and fulfilling. I'm shocked I can even be writing this lol. I would have never imagined. I welcome you to my world! I challenge you to...30days of no alcohol....lol Ready??? #soberlife #sober #soberissexy #100happydays #100dayssober (at Chicago, Illinois)

I woke up with a hangover this morning from my too many margaritas binge last night "I'm not drinking for 100 days so I need to get wasted tonight" excellent idea!  It means I definitely didn't want to drink today!  I put all my remaining bottles of booze at the back of a high cabinet in my kitchen and I'm not allowed to touch booze for the next 100 days....so the end date will be April 23rd 2014.  Let's see how this goes, I will attempt to keep an updated blog of my efforts ha!  This is the longest I have gone without booze since I was 16....much needed challenge!  I think it will definitely help me to be more focused and figure out my next step in life too so I'm excited by the challenge!!  Here goes nothing!
