Four months today

Today is officially four months since I last had a drink.

It's been a heck of a four months. I've done a lot of AA, got a sponsor, lost a sponsor, got a new sponsor. I got a job that was truly beyond my wildest dreams and I've started finally facing up to stuff I've been burying for years.

It's been hard at times, especially around the three month mark. I'm back on antidepressants under my GP but am taking these sober for the first time in my life and am finding them very effective.

Treated myself to some new clothes and an iPhone yesterday to celebrate. It's a great feeling to have the freedom to treat myself to things now. First time in my life, at the age of 36, that I've actually paid bills on time under my own steam, kept clean, washed clothes, all the simple things that other people take for granted.

So here's to the next four months. I'm going to see my family for Christmas and God willing, I'll be six months by then. It will be wonderful to see them like this.

Thanks as always to SR for all the support and help.

That does sound wonderful... If I stay strong, I'll be 3 months sober by Christmas.
Best wishes

Nice work! Keep it up. Love my iPhone & have over a 100 apps lol. My favorite app would probably be Justin TV witch has free movies & tv (make sure you watch from wifi... not your data plan though ;-) They just did an update that caused some screens to be black but are working on an update Live Channels - Entertainment - English

All of the best in your recovery
