Six weeks is an important milestone. All sobriety milestones, and I think those in the first year are especially important. Six weeks is still a miracle like feeling, but you took some difficult and very important steps to make it happen. It was about that time I was clearly seeing where sobriety would take me. I knew I could do it for the rest of my life. Having a month under my belt made me want one year. Oh how I wanted that first year, and it's odd because what's a year in the rest of your life? I knew at 6 weeks that there was no reason I would ever have to drink again, and knowing that seems really important to me now. You don't have to drink ever. It's a simple choice, but one of the most important choices for the rest of your life.

At 6 weeks you're experiencing some control. The only way you can lose control is by choosing to drink again. Being out of control is a sickening feeling. Don't give it up.
