4 months sober - how did that happen?!

I haven't posted for a while but I just wanted to share. I will be 4 months sober this weekend. I have never made it this far before. And I was beginning to think I never would. But my life is so much better now! I feel like a different person. Sure I still have moments where I think it would be nice to have a drink but they are quickly dismissed when I play the tape through. It would be great to have ONE drink with a friend after work. It would be lovely to have A glass of wine with dinner. But it doesn't work like that for me. It's all or nothing. So I'm choosing nothing. And that's ok because I'm learning I'm pretty awesome without it

Congratulations on 4 months! That is truly inspiring. I've also been big on playing the tape thru this go-round. I don't ever want to feel the way I did on the morning of May 8 again and like you said, I've proven over and over again that one drink at dinner just isn't going to cut it for me.
