6 Months
6 Months
I stopped counting days after three months. On some level I was still trying to keep track of how many months I had. I kept thinking that the 11th was going to be 5 months of sobriety for me. Tonight I realized that it was actually six months for me! I started crying (tears of joy).
At first I was surprised by the way I reacted. I didn't understand why I started crying. It makes sense to me now... For six months I haven't had a blackout. Haven't woken up with massive anxiety, depression, nausea, sweating etc., because of drinking. I wake up early and enjoy getting up, when before all I wanted to do was sleep my life away. That mental obsession with alcohol is gone.
Thank you SR and the members of this community, your support and the wisdom I gained from reading posts helped me get my life back, and for that I am forever grateful.

I cried on the morning of my six months. I was overwhelmed, so thankful that something I had never thought possible had come to pass. I had found a way and it was (is) working. Thank you! And well done
@instant- I agree it is overwhelming. For so many years I wanted to be free from alcohol, with many failed promises to myself to stop. I guess I never thought I would make it this far, and am so thankful I have.
@CaiHong- I truly am enjoying sobriety. I love it. My life is so much better without alcohol, I don't ever want to go back to that dark place.
Thank you all so much! I have a feeling that I won't be able to stop smiling today.
