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.

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
