In Hebrew, seven is from a root word meaning to be complete or full. 7 is Gods perfect number
Today marks 7 months sober, sometimes when I look back I'm not sure exactly how I got here, and yet sometimes I can remember every single second.
This was suppose to be about giving up alcohol plain and simple. Turns out it wasn't that plain and definitely not that simple! Im not the same woman I was 7 months ago. I never want to be again. While my life is far from perfect, every single day I'm making the best of what's around.
I still have a whole lot to work on, but the idea of inserting myself back into my life is no longer scary. When i was drinking, and up until recently, If I could have ever chosen a super power undoubtably it would be to be invisible. (Perhaps why I represent with WW). However today my superpower would be to fly. Because I'm about to soar. The past few months of sobriety have been bitter sweet. I'm in touch with parts of me that I buried away so long ago. Sometimes they come out to the 10th degree. But I suppose that's normal when you suppress something long enough.
Soooo normally I don't celebrate sobriety anniversaries, but today I am because I deserve it
. I'm at my family's for the weekend and from the second I walked in the door I felt my soul at home and at peace, at 7 months I'm starting to feel complete.
THANK YOU SOBER RECOVERY, everyday!

Congratulations! I'm roughly at 7 months as well. I try not to think about it. What you wrote is the inspiration I needed to get through a tough morning. Doubt has been infiltrating again. Thanks

7 months on the nose for me today too! I didn't even realize it until you mentioned it. Wow, it went by pretty quick, and has been for the most part, a very enjoyable 7 months.
Congratulation to you!

That's fantastic imperfectlyMe and I am only on day 8 but I often read your posts on other threads and I do believe you are a clear voice of reason, often when people are struggling. Many, many thanks and congratulations again x
