Tomorrow is 6 months
Hi everyone, how are you??
I'm sorry I have been missing. My life has really taken off in all healthy ways.
#1 I landed a great job and am working a minimum of 50 hours a week. I really like the job despite the learning curve...I'm back doing what I'm good at selling to the public.
#2 I've survived another crappy break up which essentially was a bullet dodged. Very grateful for that. He went out and drank and his life literally imploded within 4 days. Pretty good bird's eye view of how toxic picking up a drink can be.
#3 lost a bunch of weight and am feeling so much better...all except for my short term memory. That is truly poor. I'm hoping it will improve.
#4 I'm really happy. Life is still a challenge. I'm still living very far from my child, but I have accepted it. We are close and talk every day multiple times. I trek out to her. It's not ideal, but I am making the best of it.
Today I am so thankful.
Grateful to be alive and *wanting be alive.
I never thought it possible.
You all helped me so much during those dark days. Cheered me on in my bright spots. I am eternally grateful. Thank you all.
Hope everyone is doing well.
Happy holidays and a very healthy New Year.
Gigantic hugs to all!!

Thank you all!
What a great way to wake up! I am actually refreshed and only reaching for a coffee!
Gone are the days of waking up wretching or vomitting straight bile. Bloodshot eyes, red puffy face. The craving is gone. The absolute obsession that dictated my every move, every day.
I am beyond grateful to be alive.
Life is Life, but it's so very precious and beautiful. Some days I have to cling to a sliver of positivity to counteract any number of things...but I do it. I try to maintain a healthy perspective and by the grace of God, you folks and my AA family...I'm doing it!
Perserverance is key. I went out on 30 days I think 3 times in a row this spring. It was awful. I try to never forget how bad it truly was. 45 days I was finally feeling good. I had felt better, but it really took more time to feel good.
I love you all!
Be well and take gentle care please...and super newbies; YOU CAN DO THIS!
It is so much better to live than to exist for that drink. It's poison in every way.
