Congrats on six months!

And congrats for "telling on" your AV!

Maybe read here... People who gave in to their AV after a milestone and regretted it. They are all over the place. A few people in my August class have done so and then had to come back for another day one.

I'm one of them. I think I remember you from six months ago. I was getting sober and then gave in to the AV and now I'm back with 17 days. I wish I was at 6 months with you right now, but I didn't work it. I think part of working it is coming here and reading and posting and keeping my attitude in check.

Also, play the tape. What would it really be like? Do you want to wake up tomorrow and feel what even a drink or two would do to you? Look at the bags under your eyes? Get hammered and try to piece together the night before?

Maybe go back and see what you posted when you decided you wanted to get sober... Remember where you were at and why?

Six months is amazing and you should absolutely celebrate it! Go you!
