Congrats on 6 months.
Months 6 -12? For me, how I was coming out of my 180 days PAWS experience was how the next six months went. Meaning, I felt great but I was still encountering challenges to my sobriety, new situations that I had to learn to deal with without drinking. For instance, I had a wedding to go to at 9 months sober and I had to be careful.
The biggest plus was the daily thinking about drinking/not drinking went away. I was able to go about my daily life sober and it not be a daily effort.
But for me, the biggest change wasn't from month 6 to 12, it was from one year to two.
