Ooooooo 6 months! Congrats nadt!

6 months definitely feels like a special milestone. I'm about a week away. It will be my longest continuous stretch of sobriety in 6 years. I'm SUPER excited!

Glad to hear of everyones 6 month mark coming around. It does feel great and is great. I'll have my 6 months tomorrow. While its hard to say just how much is due to me quitting drinking my work situation and therefore my life situation is a much better now than it has been in years. I doubt it a coincidence. Way to go nadt, good to hear your doing good.

Hi everyone - nadt, first past the the post I think. Huge congratulations! And to you too Abraham.

Shortstop - you and I must be almost neck to neck. Another week to go for me too.

Who would have thought (dared hope) that when we made the decision to stop drinking at more or less at the beginning of the summer, that we'd still be sober in winter. So wonderful to have got to this stage and to know this is now a permanent life choice.

Hi Venus - lots of love to you, as always.

Hi Dee - wave in your direction and, as usual, massive thanks for make no such a difference,

Ah ha.....now I have your date again love.....I posted to you (should have PM'd) that I am so very sorry I accidentally lost it. s

I am thinking the 18th = 6 months?

Huge hugs honey. s xxxx ❤️

Rose335

Hi Venus - yes, spot on! The time has actually gone really fast.

Dee - the last bit of my message to you should have said "for making such a difference". Hopefully you guessed....

Class of June, how is everyone doing? Hanging in there? It will be 7 months before you know it.

Hi Abraham.
Happy Holidays to you!! s xx

Rose335

Hi Abraham - just think, this time next year we'll be celebrating over 18 months of sobriety! That's to look forward to. I hope your job is still going well and I wish you a very happy holiday.

Venus - hope everything is very well with you. Xx

Best of the festive season to everyone

Abraham

Have a great day June class. I'm off to bed by about 8 so I can get up and make a 2.5 hr drive to ohio for some shutdown work at the foundry. Good money but its getting old.

Abraham

Have to leave by no later than 4:14 am. Should be light traffic though. LOL!

venuscat

I live in Ohio. Just saying. Where is the foundry? s ❤️

Abraham

It's in defiance. Nice and warm today.

venuscat

Ha ha ....defiance used to be my middle name.
It is warm huh? s xx

Rose335

I'd never heard of Defiance so I looked it up. I see it even has a punk rock band named after it! So glad everything is still going well for you Abraham - despite the early morning starts - and now great is it that we will be celebrating a sober New Year.

Hi Venus- I'm away for a week from tomorrow although I should still be able to do some posting but just in case. Happy New Year to you and enormous thanks for your all your support, and your friendship, since June.

Abraham

55 degrees here at 5 in the .morning. not bad for almost January.

venuscat

Love and Happy New Year darling Rose, and I hope you have a lovely time away. s

Almost the same temp here Abraham, but very dark and wet. Maybe it will improve. s

Abraham

I wouldn't know. I come in when it's dark out and leave when it's dark out. No windows in this place. It was a little wet though this morning. Looks like lots of rain comming. I live just north of detroit so basically the same weather. I'm here in defiance till sunday or monday night. Probably would not even be here if I was still drinking.
