Well , there it is...3-Months as of today...

Well , there it is...3-Months as of today...

I keep looking over and straddling the side of the wagon , I have spent at least an hour in the beer aisle hemmin and hawin , I still grit my teeth and clench the steering wheel while driving by the local Valero Convenient Store , I keep drinking Monster's from Pilsner glasses , and I have constant thoughts of a frosty cold foamy headed 20oz lager in front of me...

Lord, I am tired , I am fatigued , I am lethargic and sometimes grumpy..

But I am here , made it to 3 months sober ..

(Now where's my dang Monster at???)...

Friday's were extra hard for me, also. Treat yourself to a really good meal - something special for desert; watch a good movie.

Stay close to SR; we will be here for you.

By desert , I have to assume we are not referring to Rum Balls here , right??? lol ,

That may be half of my issue.. Half of my family was always making rum balls every Christmas when I was growing up and I had my fair share of them...

Three months is great! You've made it this far-- I'm sure you can keep on going and things are sure to get better/easier over time.

Nice work Nofear! That's a 1/4 of a year ya know!

I had a large collection of beer glasses, even some personalized ones from a "mug club" at a local brewpub. At the time it was cool, but looking back it was really pathetic. Especially towards the end when I didn't even bother putting it in glasses anymore, much more efficient to just guzzle/chug it straight from the can or bottle, right?

I ended up hanging on to all that glassware for a while, but I finally decided it would be best to ditch it, it was doing me no good and really just a reminder of a bad chapter of my life.

I physically feel a crudload better , but Mentally , it is still a challenge..But we're getting there..

Thank you to all the great folks @ SR for all the support , not sure I'd be where I am right now if I didn't read identical stories and challenges from other folks...
