Keeping us off page 2.
I've been busy which is a good thing. Enjoying the summer months for sure! Thoughts of drinking crop up surrounding social aspects sure, but on the daily it doesn't cross my mind as much. Still listening to routine podcasts to keep myself in check.
Hope all are well.

So I did something career wise that was huge and I would've never completed or pursued while drinking. Drastic difference from where I was 8 months ago. Proud of myself on that.
Summer is still different this year. Some days I feel alone and isolated from social hangouts, other days I fee super confident and strong. It fluctuates.
Summer plans Kaily or Rd?

Well done on your career decisions Jimmy.
No plans for me, currently got my Dad staying with me after he had a cardiac arrest and other heart problems. Nurses hat on now.
Can't say my AV isn't trying to take advantage of the situation. Pesky bugger!

JimmyJ - shortly after I quit drinking I started a new position at the same company. I am extreamly busy but I get to work from home 4 days a week. The work from home could have been a problem if I was still drinking. I dont think I would keep up with the work.
As far as holiday plans go I will be attending a 4th of July party with the family. There will also be a firework show. I know I won't drink at the party. I am very comfortable being around alcohol these days. I don't like being around drunk people, I avoid them as much as possible.

Had a great 4th as well. I couldn't help but think this is the first 4th of July celebration where I was sober in as long as I could remember.
In fact here's a great reminder of why alcohol and me do not get along. 6 years ago I racked up 3 months being alcohol free. Knowing I had a problem with alcohol I still could not get it through my head that I was unable to have just a few. So after 3 months alcohol free, on July 4th 2013 I decided I would have a just a couple with some friends. It took all of about 1-2 days and I slipped right back into the same old drinking pattern. From then on it only became worse with a few bouts of being alcohol free for a week or 2 here and there.
I don't blame myself because I believe I needed to go through what I have in order to gain where I am today.

I agree with you jimmyJ on not regretting the past. I felt so much shame and embarrassment the morning of Oct 20th. Thinking why did I not just go home earlier. Why did I have to get so drunk again. Well if not for that night I would not be almost 9 months sober today.
