Seven months sober tomorrow!!
I just can't wait for tomorrow to do the happy dance - I'm doing it right now!
This is the longest I've ever been sober since starting to drink and the first time I don't have the desire to drink, not even when the going gets rough.
I am especially grateful for my sober time given my history of chronic relapsing. For a while I felt hopeless, like I'd never be able to stay sober but thanks to the support of my friends here, and my wonderful counselor, I am living a new and better life.
Never lose hope! It IS possible to stay sober and enjoy it. If I can do it, so can you!

Great job, least! Man, it's such a feeling of empowerment to reach this point after falling so many times, isn't it? I'm so thankful for the time I've strung together without having a drink, and thankful for people like you who help us all every day!

Congratulations Least!!!!
I'm so happy for you and am doing the Happy dance with you today as I have my 150 days today :-)! Still would never have believed I'd make it to this point and without good people like you here in SR I wouldn't have gotten this far!
I'll be thinking of you tomorrow and doing the Happy dance too :-)
Big hugs and lotzaluv,
Almath

Way to go, least!!
As someone who has relapsed more times than I like to admit, I love reading the success stories. Thanks.
And I'm doing well now, so reading about others' triumphs is helping.
Best wishes.

Congrats seven months sober tomorrow! Your seven months are special to us as well, because there are some failures before them. Seven months really means more than seven months. Well done, least!
