6 Months sober.
Well I have finally picked up my 6 month chip, and feel that the last drink seems a long time ago. I was attending AA quite a lot prior to Christmas, with the rationale that if I don't make an effort this time and fully grab the program then this may well be my last chance. I had asked a woman to sponsor me, who suggested that I call her in the New Year. Things were looking up.
Then on the 27 December my father died. Complicated emotions. I was away from home for a few days and everything was obviously out of kilt. I haven't been to a meeting for almost 2 weeks and the feeling of wanting to isolate has a firm grip on me again. Thoughts of I can do this on my own, and do I really want to go through the steps again with another sponsor, having had and lost 5 years sobriety, and already been sacked by 2 sponsors. The first one baled on me quite rightly because I just couldn't share at meetings and she said my pride was getting in the way, and the second one suggested we parted ways when I drank. Both were lovely, and both helped me on my journey.
I am rambling, apologies.
