Wow six months sober now

Well I'm very happy to say that I'm now six months sober, and the great part is that I have now desire to ever go back. No cravings nothing. I do have the occasional thought but it's really like whatever to me, it quickly just fades away and I soon start thinking about all the bad things that came from drinking, so therefore I still don't worry at all about relapsing and that's a great sign. I really feel like I'm gonna do it this time 🙂

Six months is great!
That was a big one for me. I realized, like you, I never had to drink again.
Best to you and congratulations.

I’m so happy you got out in time!! I was worried about you during your brief relapse. We all know how hard it is to pull yourself out of the drowning phase....I’m so happy for you, well done.

Yeah I guess reaching my personal rock bottom for me really made a difference, and going to rehab helped immensely, that I do know 🙂

See you there.
