I am tooting my own horn but hey, it's allowed, right?

I will have 6 months on Sunday!

Never thought I'd be able to say that!

Yes we will need to start a thread for slvermag. That is great news! I am on day 170! 10 more days and I will be at the 6 month mark!!!

Things have been good although today my inner self was trying to talk me into why I could probably drink on the weekends or why I could go to a bar with ALL my friends and not drink!!! This disease is CRAZY!!!

Unhappy

DAY 43 and starting too struggle again. Feeling kind of down, that "honeymoon stage is over" so they say. Have a sponsor and working the steps but I still feel like the odd man out. Like I'm walking in someone elses shoes. One emotion here and then BOOM another emotion there. SO moody and it's driving me crazy. Feeling alone today...

Hi Kids!

I'm on day 101.

Congrats Desi on 43 days. I think I stayed on that emotional roller coaster for the first 2 months. It gets better.

Six months today!

I go to a meeting almost every day, have a sponsor, am working on step 8.

Once upon a time I had seven months, but that wasn't in the progam and was really just an expiriment. Long-term sobriety wasn't something I even considered. So I'm especially looking forward to nine months which will be a personal best.

I suspect there will soon be an exodus from this forum to the year-and-under one. I look forward to being joined there soon by slvrmag and cmhcali.

Congrats on 6 months Cherub that is awesome. I will be there soon!!!

Desirata (sp) - I feel that way all the times. A lot of ups and downs you are not alone. Keep doing the work. I do have good days now and bad but more good. If you read through until about a month ago I was awful. Totally crawling in my skin. I still get that way at social events.

Today is 177 days. I am very anxious and not sleeping well. In the past my answer would be wine, but today I just suffer. I am drinking lots of water so that is helping and laying off the caffeine. (if I had time to exercise I would but I do not right now). I will hopefully this weekend (very busy week).

Least congrats on 5 MONTHS!!!

Made it through another day. Last night was hard. Everyone was drinking wine and having a good time. Why cant I be like them. Then I have a Christmas Party friday night where noone knows I am sober (it is my volunteer organization) and everyone keeps talking about that I should hang out and go out after and I can stay at so and so's. I need to get in and out. I have to go because I hold a position and it would be frowned upon if I did not. I tried to get out of it. Well Day 178...


Good to see you least. I wish I was as happy as you. I feel miserable and frightened. I heard it gets better but does it really?

Hi y'all.

I guess this is where I "technically" belong now that I've passed the 3-month mark. Cmh, I know you're past 6 months now (YAY!!!) but how are you feeling? Any better than when you wrote that last post?

Who else is hanging out in the 6 months and under nowadays?

Alright,
I've now passed the 90 day mark a few days ago and have graduated to this thread. The 90 day and under thread was pretty much just myself and Fubar posting and it looks as though this thread is just as dusty... time to brush it off and start it going again.
