4 months today!

Officially I have 4 months today !

I thought about what it was like when I first started on this road to recovery. Intervention, rehab, urges, confusion, fear and most of all shame. While I am still not always comfortable in my sobriety I have lost a lot of my fear and confusion. And in a big way, SR has help me lose a lot of the shame I felt. The shame was suffocating and overewhelming.

So, at four months, I've come a long way, and I have a lifetime to go. SR is an important part of my journey... Thanx everyone.

Let me be the first here to congratulate you. Does it get easier or harder as the months go by? Keep it up.

Cubile:

Four months is fabulous!!! Congratulations and keep it going and going! I feel your pain with the "shame." I never, ever want to add "more" to that shame.....do you???? It disgusts me to think about it....so I'm staying sober like you. I'm praying I can make it four months. Great job!!!!

Fubar - yea, it gets easier, one day at a time... not because the task gets easier... LOL
