6 months sober today!
6 months sober today, been a crazy journey so far but one that makes me stronger each and every day. Plenty of ups and downs, sad times and good times , funny moments and some sad ones as well.

I never thought I would be sat here with a coffee writing these words in a million years as during those dark times it seemed like an impossibility which I'd never achieve. It just goes to show that with will power, help from friends and family and all the people on here at SR it is possible and long may it continue.

Have a good day everyone.

Congratulations! Facing those ups and downs, good times and bad times, with a clear and sober head, is the only real way to live. I raise my coffee cup to you!

Well Done! Six months is a long time for an alcoholic to not drink = remarkable.

6 months is fantastic! Very well done! I can truly relate to the fact that I never, ever thought I'd be doing the same thing you are this morning sober either. BTW.... Things are going to continue to get better and better for you!!
