And I reached for my red pepper lip gloss
 
Earlier tonight I whirled around in a circle like the Tasmanian Devil. Had there been a bottle of cold champagne within arms reach I would have chugged it down before fully realizing I had grabbed it. At least that is the thought that came before the realization that it has been almost 6 months since I had a drink or went blotto. Then tears came to my eyes and I reached for my red cayenne peppa lip gloss

I do not write much, but I check-in every day. Thanks for being here along with me on my silent journey SRers. All of you all. ;) Appreciated beyond words.

Amen for not being there any longer. Lip smack.

Always remember that what ever had you spinning would have been worse if you were drunk.

Congrats on 6 months. :c011: :c011:

Awww. So sweet. Thanks for the support.

The red peppa lip gloss was a free sample and I actually love it. Whatever works right? Actually the last time I had flaming lips was from an unintentional allergic reaction. It caused more than a few chuckles in the ER as I silently waited my turn while clutching my purse on a gurney. People pay a lot of money for that serious of lip plumpage.

Someone once posted a graph illustrating craving cycles in early sobriety and I could swear that a big one hits right about now - 6 months. I could be imagining it. Maybe the weather?

LTV, it does seem milestones can be a bit of a trigger. the addictive voice might say that you've come this far so celebrate with a drink! Just this one night! LOL. Or obviously we've over-reacted or were going through a rough patch but surely it's all better now so it's OK to have a drink or two. Silly stuff like that.

Again, congrats!

Love from Lenina
