5 Months
Today was an incredible day full of little miracles and people who love me and support me.
I feel so grateful to be working a program of recovery (AA), developing deep connections with other alcoholics who share ideals and their experiences with me, to have a sponsor who genuinely wants to see me put myself first and lOVE MYSELF and have reached FIVE MONTHS. I would have never imagined that my life would be this way now and I am so excited to see what else life shows me.
Today I worked a full day, helped someone who needed it, was honest with people, kept an upbeat attitude on some stressful moments, met my sponsor and worked my 5th step with her, made a meeting and shared, hugged a lot of fellows, caught up, went for a run and hit the gym, then attended a watch party for a fellow despite feeling shy.
As we were counting down to his year of sobriety, I looked around and really took in my new life. My new life is being at a sober party for someone who is turning one, who's face shows everything I want; awe, pride, gratitude and overwhelming self love. It means shouting down the seconds to his new year and celebrating the completion of the past one. It means singing Happy Birthday at the top of my lungs with all of my new friends. It means showing up for someone just because we love that he is sober and he did it.
These people and you all here, my dear dear SR family, who I visit every single night without fail are the wonders of my world, of my life.
My new life is filled with this and so so much more.
Goodnight family, I send you love as I trudge towards month 6.
Nic.

my mines eye had you at my meeting with me.
I have never heard of a watch party. That sounds awesome.
You have inspired me today to embrace my sobriety.
I will receive two months on Sunday. I am in such a better place with two months, I would like to keep this sobriety going.
Thank you

Wonderful, Nic--five months is an awesome accomplishment, and sobriety is filled with miracles and love. I am so grateful for my awesome SR family; I visit several times a day and it has been a vital part of my recovery. I hate to imagine what my life would be like now, if I'd kept drinking--I doubt I'd even be alive. Keep up the amazing work!
