Day 199 · Sobriety With Kelly

Day 199

Today’s win is simple: 199 days of sobriety.

Sitting in my first Lean Six Sigma class tonight, it hit me that I’m only here because I’m sober. A 7pm class used to be a non-starter. That was drinking time, baby! I'd be a six pack of tallboys in right now, minimum.

And the truth is, I wouldn’t have tried to balance both, or shown up drunk. I just wouldn’t have signed up at all. Such a great example of how alcohol and drug addiction creates an artificial ceiling on our achievement.

I haven’t been counting the days closely, but it’s kind of funny to land on 199. One short of 200. A nice, round milestone right there within reach.
