I'm sure most of us can remember a number of days that we can describe as our best days of sobriety. My best day was sometime last June after receiving straight A's in college, something I could've never done while smoking weed and drinking. Since I quit doing drugs and drinking, after I finally felt sober, every day has been an adventure for me. Now I'm in control of my own happiness.
This is a key point in recovery for a lot of people. They feel more upbeat, more positive, and most like themselves, something they haven't felt for a while. It could be a point where you have less self conscious thoughts, you feel more confident, alert, and funny. <This point is where a lot of people choose to relapse.
They feel like they can still remain this way even after only one or two binges.. but don't do it!! Soon you'll be back to square one and have to start all over. When you could've been moving along with you recovery, accomplishing new goals, now you're having to back track. So instead of running off and celebrating how you're feeling, remember how hard it was to get to that point of peacefulness. You have to fight for your sobriety, sometimes even with yourself.
