6 months today
Still can't believe I made it this far.
It has been a struggle but life is so much better in so many ways. The obsession has not gone away but it's much easier than the early, early days.
Thanks to SR (and AA). I wouldn't be here without the struggles and triumphs of those here.
Life is good these days. Not always the way I expect but I know everything is going to be OK as long as I don't do one thing - pick up that first drink.

Hey congrats 6 months is a fantastic milestone. I just passed it myself 23 days ago so here are a couple thoughts I have on the subject. For me, the obsession hasn't been lifted either. I've done the steps but my sponsor thinks it would be a good idea to do another 4th. I still have cravings but it is easier then the early, early days like you said. And the second thing is I have to remind myself not to confuse serenity with boredom. Life isn't near as much of a crisis like the first 6 months was, it was a very difficult time full of meetings, cravings, white knuckling, financial troubles, court dates, insomnia, mood swings. And some of it has carried past the 6 month mark but like somebody told me yesterday, I can have my misery refunded at any time. The liquor stores are right around the corner.
