Hi Freeport - Congrats on six months 7

Please, please don't get over confident now.

I had the worst cravings after my six month birthday because I wasn't really working on my recovery. You know this, but alcohol is our solution -- not the problem.

If we don't work on the problem, eventually we will relapse.

I love AA, but there are lots of ways to work on your problems that don't involve AA. But the key is doing the hard work that is required to be a recovering alcoholic not just an abstaining one.

Remember ... abstinence is not drinking and being unhappy about it ... recovery is not drinking and being happy about it.

Congrats again!
