6 months
Today is 6 months sober for me (yeah me!)
Although I'm happy today, I also realized something else today. I didn;t go a meeting the week before my vacation of 2 week, and I've been back home 1 week and haven't been to a meeting since I have been back (4 weeks no meeting) So I think I'm falling into that "auto pilot" mode and I need to not do that. But at least I have the wisdom to realize that, so I need to make sure I get back to some meetings later this week for sure.
But...6 months today!
Thanks for all the help & support here to make it 6 months for me everyone!

Thanks everyone. I celebrated tonight with a LARGE raspberry slush from the DQ down on the corner
What a difference 6 months makes eh...(drink of choice that is)
Carol- Thanks for the concern, and its well founded, I see it for myself as well. I'll be to a meeting by Thursday for sure!

Thanks bulldog. I've always been a big Rocky fan as well, the last one really had some good moving moments in it IMO.
That line from the movie is one I always thought really applied well to sobriety. Because the times you 'get hit" to me are the times you feel weak and relapse. But the times you get hit and stand back up (try to get sober again) are the times you "keep moving forward".
probably reading more into a movie than was meant to be LOL...but I always felt that line had a lot of meaning to it.
For those that don't know what we're talkin about...

Congrats Steve
Hmmm flirting with danger...yep did a bit of that when i was away in Abu Dhabi...absolutely was and am convinced that a close contact with HP/God/Inner self is what keeps me sober (God for me)...didn't go to a meeting for 4 weeks...the fully stocked mini bar didnt open itself and force a drink upon me but i do remember thinking i will hit a meeting and felt quite relieved to be sitting there...
I do know it is important for me to go to one meeting a week because i need to be reminded of where i came from...if i dont go i am in danger of losing my humility and forgetting that i walked into a room a while back begging a stranger to help me which he did...also I owe what I owe, when the next steve or cliff asks for help to be there for them:-)
