6 Months of Joy
It hasn't all been good. It has ALL been better than when I was drinking though. I told myself on March 3rd that I had suffered enough and that I deserved a better life. I fumbled around with my keyboard, barely able to type because of the shakes and found this site. A few of you responded to my first post and I felt better instantly. Since then, as advertised, life has just been getting better and better. I just want to thank you all that are apart of this community for helping out this rock bottom drunk. I am truly grateful for everything!
God bless!
God bless!
And thank you for all your support, you're a big part of my recovery

hey jobei! my sobriety date is March 8 and i've been counting by 30 days so my 6 months is a little advanced, lol, but i'm celebrating today as well! having this time is simply amazing. sure it's not all good but it's not supposed to be. that's life! it's just so much better to be able to handle life sober now. being secure in the knowledge that we can handle life's difficulties without having to run to the bottle is like a warm blanket to me. it's reassuring. alcohol never gave me comfort from my troubles, only numbness and more grief. it took away my ability both deal with life and to live it. sobriety just keeps getting better and better. i look forward to sharing the other sobriety milestones with you!

That is amazing! I hope I can be where you are at 6 months from now. The longest I had was about 3 months but then I slip. Life got so much different and better in many ways in those short months, so its crazy to think how much life changes long after that. I hope you the best.
