6 months tomorrow
Tomorrow will make 6 months sober for me. I feel like in the past couple weeks I've FINALLY begun to stop battling and start just living life. I definitely still have some tough days, but it feels like its more often stemming from normal everyday problems than recovering.
I know what people mean when they say they don't have another recovery in them. I'm not sure I could go through that again, but I've made it this far now and I don't want to turn back because I imagine it can still get a lot better.
They say three months is when you start to feel better, and I felt pretty good some days around then, but some I had some intense cravings. Its now very rare but I still have my guard up for if they come.
It amazes the hell out of me lately that I've had days where I truly enjoy that I'm sober.
Without this site I wouldn't have ever gotten to this point. Thanks to everyone who helped me out.

Great job on your 6 mos. of living sober, PT! 
We're so proud of your accomplishment.
I was resentful at first & it took me a few months to accept my new life with gratitude and optimism. Once I did - I never looked back. It's a glorious thing to not have alcohol running our life. We are free.

congrats on the 6 months. I can't wait to get there.
I am at the exact 3 month mark at the moment and today was a bad day for cravings. It might just be all in my mind since I have been thinking more about sobriety today since it is my 3 month anniversary.
I am feeling better everyday and people in my life are getting used to the fact that I don't drink anymore - that was a big obstacle.
