7 Months Sober!

Yesterday marked 7 months of sobriety. I’ve gone through some rough times recently but coming through them sober has turned me into a different person. Make no mistake, I had to do the work to get here but I do feel like I won the lotto.

This may sound self-centered but I am falling in love with myself. I feel like anything is possible. Hope is alive and well in my life. I love sobriety. It is everything I hoped for and more.

To hell with self centered! That is great! In recovery many of need to fall in love with ourselves again or for the first time even. Seems like yesterday you were at 6 months.

You rock! High Five!! Congrats!!

Who was it that said it's okay for other people to fall in love with us but we aren't supposed to fall in love with ourselves? And why on earth did we agree? You're killing it! Keep it up!!

You've got two months on me. I have five months today and couldn't be more thrilled about it. Yay!
