the first 5 months of my new life
Those first 5 months are in the past now. Time is going slow and time is going fast in my world. But in reality time is going the same rate always. Life honestly is not any easier today but I have the confidence I can handle the obstacles life will present to me. Without alcohol flowing through my veins.
Thanks for showing me the way to all on SR and congrats RAL if you see this

Fallow.... Thanks for being part of my sobriety.
Thanks for being honest. People need to know that staying sober is not a silver bullet. The are no easy answers to what life holds. Just need to see then through sober eyes makes a huge difference.
Keep moving forward!

Definitely clearer yes.
Some days the temptation to crawl back into the hole is pretty strong. Life is scary with no filter at times. This far I have been able to sit in peace when disturbed (most times) and whatever my fear is passes. I found out that most of my fears in life are actually either harmless or nearly harmless. Yet I let fear control me for so many years.
Owning up to myself and others and being honest with myself is still a work in progress.
The thought that I was not really that bad or that I can still drink a few beers time to time still come up.
There's no silver bullets to my life.
I got a nice encouraging letter from my wife today congratulating and thanking me for my dedication to recovery. I don't really feel I should be thanked for doing what I am supposed to do but it made me smile all the same.

Congrats fallow, I'll be at 5 months on Friday ! You have given some great advice that I've read in these forums so I gotta thank you for that. May our sobriety continue to get better each and everyday.
