Over 6 Months Sober
 
So I hit 6 months sober last month and I am quickly approaching 7 months next week. Thanks to my own perseverance and forcing myself to stay with AA, I have made it this far. I have still yet to get a long-term sponsor I feel comfortable with, nor have I started the steps yet but I'm going to meetings and keeping in touch with other alcoholics. In a way, I'm glad I haven't started working the steps yet because I think the time I have taken to get my head clear and work through some stuff on my own will give me a lot better insight when I'm ready. Anyways, just wanted to share.

well done on 6 months
i went 2 years around aa just doing the meetings before i got my sponsor
i didnt know it but i had already done half of step 1 by coming to the meetings like i was doing and it took me 2 years to really understand the rest of step one and how my life was really unmanageable the way i was living it

but use the time to look at people who seem to have a peace about them that you like as thats what attracted me to my sponosor and it still does today 10 years on

good luck to you and you know what we get better within ourself despite ourselves at times in aa : )
just keep coming back my friend no matter what
