Just realized that I made 5 months today. It hasn't been easy and I've been full of doubt, practically daily. I still have cravings, but I've learned to deal with them. I know they pass and I have things I do to ride them out.. I come on this site often, at least a couple of times/day and it helps me keep my sobriety in perspective. I am so grateful that I found you all and SR. I am reminded why I need to keep working hard on not drinking. I really don't want to go down that path again, and I do not want to go through the agony of the first few weeks. I do not take my sobriety for granted. I hope that someday it will not be such an issue in my life, but for now, I will continue to fight. I feel so much better physically and mentally. It's so great waking up every morning without a hangover. No more remorse, self loathing, and feeling like a piece of garbage. Life is better, and I plan to do what I can to hang onto this. Thank you all so very much for being here.
