Six months dry

Thanks to the help of Sober Recovery and AA I am 6 months without a drink today. AA has been some help a few times a week and I am looking to chat and discuss the progress of others on this uphill battle with drinking. Day by day is the key. Hour by Hour is the key.

Thanks I acutally was the DD on the 4th, had about 5 Redbulls and kept myself in the mix of getting some fresh air when it got really strange. I am at a point in my life that I will not change my life, but my bad habits. AA is a strong homebase or people like myself. Meetings, exercise, outside, sunsets, drives whatever keeps you ticking. Music, reading, work. WOW! their are other outlets than drinking, took me a while but I'm getting there.
