996 Days Sober: The Countdown to 1,000

FaceThyFear Official Blog

996 days.
I’m four days away from hitting the big 1,000. A number that, at one point, felt impossible. But now?
Now it’s real.
WHAT 996 DAYS LOOKS LIKE
• $39,760 saved. ($40 per day habit) That’s nearly 40 bands I would’ve thrown away, chasing a high that never lasted.
• No more waking up wondering what I did the night before. No more paranoia, regret, or excuses.
• A thousand small victories stacked up. Each day, another win.
WHAT I’VE LEARNED ON THIS JOURNEY
• Sobriety isn’t about what you lose—it’s about what you gain.
• Healing isn’t easy, but it’s worth it.
• The people who doubted me? They fueled me.
• I’m stronger than I ever thought I was.
Four days from now, I’ll hit 1,000 days. And you best believe I’m celebrating every second of it.

If you’re out there struggling, just know this: every day you choose yourself is a win.
Keep stacking those wins. You’ll be here before you know it.
