Just a little whine
Yesterday was exactly since months since my last drink. Which is awesome but I don't consider it my 6 month date until the last of the month so I didn't even realize it until scheduling something halfway through the day.
I had a pretty normal day and made it to a SMART meeting. I was thinking I should feel further along by now but when I look back at where I was I realize how far I have come.
An aunt and uncle are visiting my Grandmother so I thought I would swing by after my meeting. I walk into the house and my Grandmother is drunk, my uncle pretty tipsy and everyone else buzzed, except my aunt she never drinks. My family is more supportive than I deserve, not drinking that much when I am around. I just felt a bit on the outside. It was my first time seeing everybody like that since I quit drinking.
IDK just in a funk today, kind of a reminder that I am somehow different.
I guess I should focus more on gratitude...

Hey friend!
Well done on 6 months!
Glad you're able to recognize how far you've truly come, axiom! Sometimes I 'feel' like I should be further along too, but then I realize just how far I've come since my last drink and I give myself a little pat on the back! Go ahead...give it a try!
And if by 'different' you mean sober....then I'm all for being different! Be proud that your different than your drinking family members! I know I sure am!
Keep moving forward!
