3 months, thanks SR!

To all the newbs, keep on truckin'.

Coming here daily, reading stories and posting on my group month's thread (Feb 2012) has gotten me this far. I am no where near having a complete grasp on this whole sobriety thing. Wine thoughts still enter my mind daily, although it gets easier as time passes.

If you relapse (most people in my month did) pick yourself back up and try again. There is no shame here, just support.

Goodo Orbea. You are doing great.

The thoughts of wine and such fade with time. I didn't believe it would happen but it did. The good changes keep on coming.

Woohoo! Good for you!

When I got past 3 months was when it all started to seem like a breeze... the 'wine thoughts' will hardly be there in a month, honest!
