Closing in on six months! I am learning a new way of living, making major changes, which is challenging and exciting, and I am putting everything I have into my recovery. It is the most important aspect of my life. I’m not perfect at it, but I haven’t picked up a drink since Christmas Day...so far so good.

Quit December 1st 2018, still sober
Yes, probably not the most popular lifestyle change month. �� But any and everyday is a good day to change imho. I don't count days, but remember the day I quit, so thought I would join this exclusive class as a latecomer.
I have added other lifestyle changes over the months, so beginning to get quite fit, which does make life easier in many ways. I have identified being tired as a major trigger and am trying to figure out some sort of systemic inflamation thing. I suppose the key to recovery this time is applying knowledge and experience in combination with great acceptance.
I accept that work and other factors in life is painful. I accept that my body is painful and cannot do all I want. I accept that my brain is to tired to focus. I don't put up a fight and I don't escape either. I observe and wait it out.
This is a note to self on days like these when I am tired and frustrated, and want to say: **** it all! And a reminder that I haven't given up for close to 9 months straight!
