6 months today, Guess I'm fishing for my back pats.:)
Yep all...6 months today..180 days, so many weekends...been only good I'll tell you that. Little locking myself in the bedroom the first few weeks. Not passing by or sitting down were I use to drink...but it is getting easier.

If you have a few days or weeks. Read, hang with non drinkers, go to AA.

If you are not into AA go once a week...hide in meetings...go to different meeting place each time. Just nice to know it is there.

Ok...thanks again for all your help....

Pat away mate! 6 months is something many of us would do anything to get to. I hope to get to your place soon and pat myself as well.

Congrats again!
