Five Months
Today is five months for me sober and in recovery. I haven't been to this site for months because of work schedule, but I know it's here and that is reassuring. I feel good about five months, but resolved to remain in recovery. The hardest step for me was admitting that it doesn't matter how I try to get around it, I just can't drink like normal people. Once I accepted that I have been able address the aftermath of all the years of drinking. So, thankfully, I haven't dealt with a real desire to drink at this point. Dealing with my drinking has been tough enough.
Anyway, five months is a start and it feels good.

congrats. I can totally relate to your post, as I too just crossed five months on the 14/15 of August. Can't find any reason to desire alcohol and can't understand why I allowed it to be a part of my life, nightly, as I did. It did nothing but cause me expense, discomfort and inability to be coherent at night. I don't know what I was thinking, but at this point, releasing the past that it was a part of is easier than diving too deep into 365 days a year, for years, of wasted life in a fog.
Being able to, at the drop of a hat, up and go anywhere, anytime is freedom. I wouldn't trade this peace for anything.
