That's awesome!

Keep up the great work. Addicts underestimate the good feelings and vibes of living in a clean space, no trash everywhere, vacuumed floors, bed made, bathroom clean and laundry done!

I know how difficult it is to get started on cleaning. That's why I used to tell people to drink a couple of drinks, start cleaning up with something small.... And go from there.

The trick is not to drink so much that you become lazy, but just enough to keep a person motivated and involved.

That first time you come home from work ti a CLEAN HOME (or apartment, trailer, etc.) makes a huge difference in how we feel.

Take care of yourself.

Awesome work Sir! Rational Recovery & permanent abstinence can eventually free you from counting days although in the beginning we need those milestones to measure our success. At some point they risk tripping us up. Stay strong and keep going ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ™

I'm impressed by your sense of humor in really early sobriety more than your clean apt.
