5 Months
Well, I finally finished a book I had to read and am about to write an essay I need to finish by tomorrow, so I won't make a meeting today. But I just wanted to share with everyone that I got 5 months of continues sobriety from alcohol and illegal drugs today. Thank everyone who post on this site for their support. It has been a great compliment to my AA recovery program. Everyone who is new, just want to say (at least from where I sit) it is possible--and it does get better.

Thanks Formerbeerlover, Carol, 24 Hrs A Day, Stone, Bald man, and least. Appreciate it. Hell yeah it gets better. I wouldn't be here if it didn't. It took like 3 months to start to calm down and by month 4 I was starting to feel comfortable in my skin... I'm assured it just keeps getting better from here...
not little, a stranger no more

Congrats on 5 months Clayton! Since I quit in the beginnig of June, is always so encouraging to see that people who got sober around the same time of this year are doing well.

it seems to take 5 or 6 months for the body to heal itself somewhat i must say when i first joined i thought six months i will never do that its amazing how quick it goes and once you do feel better how anti drinking you become

Congrats Clayton
Yes it does keep getting better from here. I look back and can't believe the things (excuses) I used to drink over.
Looking ahead when using, 5 months seems impossible. Looking back it seems, where did the time go. Life is so much easier without a monkey on our back.

I know nevertheless... thanks for the encouragement. Early in recovery I thought things like well I kinda hope X happens so i'll have an excuse to drink... blah blah... Its so stupid now I catch myself hoping that I never go back to that life... One day at a time... I think my HP took me through the fire of the first 3 months of sobriety so that I will cherish more what I have today. So that I won't want to go back! Hey Aqua 4017 hang in there it gets better!
Thanks again everyone had some stupid Romeo and Juliet essay to work on, was kinda bummed about it but you guys helped make my night
