8 months sober
Just checking in with everyone. Still plugging away, just hit my 8 month mark alcohol free. I feel like I’m seeing and experiencing life now in such a different way, maybe it’s just me finally being actually present. This month I have finally decided to add some additional goals to my life, I finally feel like I’m past the “just surviving and staying sober”. It’s kinda cool to set a goal, and realize I can actually achieve it, where before I would just talk about what I wanted for the future but never actually do anything to move forward. Drinking was so consuming of every single aspect of my life, I can’t wait to see what the future hold for me as a sober healthy women.

Congratulations on eight months, that is huge.
Isn't amazing how all consuming alcohol can be?
When I first quit, for a decent length of time, I was like a new person with a whole new perspective on life.
I still have that, although not as intense, ten years later.
Keep it up, it only gets better.

Thanks guys, getting sober has been the toughest thing I have ever done, I finally kinda feel like “hey if I can quit drinking, what can’t I do?! Especially now that I don’t have alcohol preventing me from basically moving forward in any aspect of my life. I was just living to drink, now I can live!
