At five months of sobriety I don't have cravings or obsessions. For the first month or so I would get them pretty bad, my mouth felt like sand and I was uncomfortable like I needed to scratch an itch under a cast. I don't work any kind of program. I'm just not a joiner of anything, except SR. Luckily, I am naturally a very spiritual person with deep honest relationships. This has helped keep me on the path. It has been a lot of work, some of it painful some of it joyful. Some sober friends of mine who are AA have seemed to imply that my sobriety is somehow inferior to theirs. I do not appreciate powerless misery and so I will certainly relapse directly. Maybe I'm just staying sober to prove them wrong but, hey, whatever works!
