A Reminder - 6 Months Sober!

I'll have 6 months on the 16th. To say my life has drastically changed is an understatement. For the better.

I've had a few cravings to drink, but none strong enough to pull me back to the dark side.

I felt the urge to post tonight, as I haven't for awhile. Walking my dog, I heard a bottle break in the parking lot. We were still far away, so I just stopped and watched. A lady got out of her car and stumbled to her apartment. Car door left open. I walked up to see what the noise was. A broken Svedka bottle laid on the concrete, the smell enough to make me gag.

Walking away, I passed the lady, she said "hi" and I knew she was smashed. She went to pick up the broken glass and headed back down to her apartment.

Reminded me of six months ago. A dark, lonely, scary place. A place I hope I never see again.

Happy holidays, all. Stay sober and strong!

6 months is awesome! I saw a guy at a restaurant tonight wasted dancing by himself in front of the band in front of the whole place making a complete fool of himself. He thought he was the life of the party. So glad that never has to be me again! So embarrassed for him.

Keep up the good work - I heard a prayer once you might like as you're a pet owner.
