One month.
I'm showing off, I think :=] but I haven't had a drink for a whole month. I wasn't sure whether to go with 4 weeks or 1 calendar month, but there ya go. Actually, it's just a number, really- but it has been a hard, good month.

I'm surprised by the positives I'm experiencing- so many things are suddenly a whole lot easier. I'm still feeling out of my own loop, but that'll change. Anyway, I hope you'll forgive this brazen self-promotion :=]

Go ahead and show off! I did a little bit last week when I hit my one month mark. I try not to pay too much attention to the days now as it seems to make them pass more slowly, but the awareness is still always there on some level.

Congrats on one month!

Hey thank you- it really made me smile to get so much support- I'm usually a bit of a retiring Kiwi male :=] Take care of yourselves and thank you.

If you can't celebrate these milestones here, where can you celebrate them?

Congratulations.
