Six Months Today!
 

Soooo.....I reached six months sober today!!

Can't quite believe it to be honest. Before September I couldn't have imagined what a life without drinking and hangovers was like. I truly feel like a different person as cliched as that sounds!

It's been really tough but I'm finding that certain situations I always associated with alcohol are bothering me less. I don't crave a drink as much if others are drinking around me. I also know there's situations I will avoid as they just aren't worth it for the emotions/temptations they would bring up (e.g a pub crawl or nightclubs!). I realise I still need to be on my guard and can't get complacent if I want to stay on the straight and narrow!

Anyway I just wanted to thank all you guys on SR for the support. Even when I'm not posting I still read your messages most days and they keep me going.

To anyone just starting out....you can do it!!!

Go you!

thanks for the inspiration :)

Congratulations on six months sober! :)

6 months!! Sweet!! I don't know what it is, but you guys/girls who have from 4 months to 1 year sobriety inspire the hell out of me!!! Even more so than the folks that have 1+ year. I have no idea why that is, but GREAT JOB!!!!!!

Congrats on 6 months! I love the fact that you are avoiding situations that just don't make sense to be in...i.e. Pub crawls! And yes, it really does get so much easier to be at functions where other people are drinking....to the point that you don't even think about it!

I now laugh to myself when at functions where people are drinking. I identify the person drinking the most ( the person I will call " the fan of the day " ). And thank God I won't feel like them in the morning :c008: Sobriety is way underrated!!
