So today is the 27th of September 2011.
Today i have completed my 3 month sober challenge for Hello Sunday Morning, and for myself.
I can't believe how fast it has actually gone. It doesn't feel like that long ago that i embarked on this journeye of sobriety.  

I also feel as though i have come a long way. 
I no longer feel as though i will turn to alcohol to solve my problems with unhappiness. I know this becuase i have had hard times throughout the last few months where all i wanted was a drink, but because i promised myself i didn't. I kept my promise and i feel as though i will be the one to reap the rewards. 

I feel very accomplished, like i have done a great thing, that will really benefit me- now and in the long term.

I will be going out this weekend for the first time in a while, where i am allowed to drink. 
I think it will be a different experience for me, knowing that i can have a great time without alcohol.
In all honesty, i am still freaking out just a little, because i don't know how my body will react to alcohol, and or large quantities of it for my first night out. I am planning on looking after my body, making sure i know where my limit is. Over the next while, i don't want to fall back into bad habits and i hope to continue making myself and my body proud with limiting alcohol.

My liver is healthy, i feel healthy and i don't want to ruin that from drinking too much. Which definitely isn't to say that i won't drink. I will be drinking at social occasions, but now that i know i don't necessarily need it, i won't have to drink as much, as often and at every event.

I'm really proud of  myself for sticking through the hard parts of this challenge and coming out the other end sober. I feel as though i may continue to do a 3 month sober challenge every year, for a body detox and just for the sake of a generally healthy mind set about alcohol. 

I am considering also still contributing to the HSM blob posts occasionally to let you know how life is with alcohol after the sober challenge. If you would like this please tell me underneath in comments. 

So cheers to what ever lay ahead.

Still Sober.
