Still sober after five months.

I haven't visited here for a month or so, so I thought I would check in and say hello. I am still clean and dry and, in fact, seldom give alcohol any thought at all unless something calls it to my attention. I feel good, I'm healthy and am working out at least an hour a day.

I recently returned from a trip to Scotland where I had a great, and sober, time. I had an opportunity to visit with friends and relatives, I climbed Ben Nevis and had a chance to see some truly lovely country. The Scots are wonderful people; helpful and welcoming and polite. My only difficulties there were: making myself understood, they have an accent, not me; and driving on the left.

My wife and I were traveling with my son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter. We often had dinner in the nearest pub; I never was tempted to have something to drink and felt good about that.

It sounds like you had a great vacation.

I hope to visit Scotland one day too. Glad you stayed sober, and congratulations on 5 months sober.

Congratulations!! Good to hear! Must feel really good to go on your amazing trip and come home and remember all of it too, right?! I used to travel and when I drank, I had fotos to show for it, but somehow the memories...not so clear, lol. Congratulations again! Thanks for the update!!
