4 months today

well it has been 4 months today that I have been sober. I never thaught I would make it this far. It feels great even though I still have my bad days, I wish they would go away but that is part of life. Things are looking up for me. I feel great and I am sane for the first time in ages. Damn it feels great being sober.

A 4 month chip just for you, Tiger!


Congrats!!!!

I was almost convinced I'd never make it to 4 months, either. Now I'm 35 days shy of 3 years solid. w00t!

Keep Coming Back! It does work, if you let it.

((((((((tiger)))))))))) Way to go! It is hard to believe it has been that long! Keep putting one foot in front of the other--it will get better. Life is never perfect, but no matter what, it is better sober.

Hugs to you--
