Two Months Today!!

I have been sober for 2 whole months today. Not long compared with many, but the longest I've managed since I started drinking at ... I don't know ... 15? So, my longest sobriety in 27 years.

Can't say it's been easy, especially that first 3 weeks when I was going it alone. AA has been an amazing help, and I've learnt so much from the people there. This forum has also been an amazing source of encouragement and information.

Haha - feel like I'm accepting an Oscar

Two months is AWESOME, Beccybean! Keep on going to meetings--it works if you work it because you're worth it!

So Glad for you Beccy! It makes me feel good to see your great accomplishment! I'm glad both of us found SR, it has kept me on keel seeing the ups and downs of all our friends struggling with addictions. So happy for you! Stay Strong and Well ! Bobby
