For the love.... of yourself!

I love myself now!

I'm strong!

I know I can!

I look lyself in the mirror and I feel like I'm back!

I feel like I could move mountains!

It's still an every week battle not to drink, I still feel frustrated when I hang among people that drinks, I still feel like I'm not normal, like I'm missing something, like I have less fun then other people, yeah, I do... it's not easy... it's not... but it's my life and I will keep on living this way, FOR THE LOVE OF MYSELF

I didn't expect to feel like this... but I do! and it's fantastic!

8 months sober today!

Congrats Alex, you sound like you're in a really good place but not becoming complacent, it's always inspirational to read an update from someone who you remember from when they first put the bottle down. Often interesting to see how people have grown and how their outlook has changed.

Congrats on eight months, AlexEmk!

I don't get upset at the fact that other people can drink today. I drank more than my share already in my life.
