The further away you get from the bottle, the more roadblocks you create against going backwards. You begin to see all that is possible, and looking backwards only reminds you of how small your world had gotten. Hang in there Flyn…4 months is huge, you got this!

Yes, obsessed with sobriety / flat days are better than alternative for certain! I do trust others that have been there. Many here with good sobriety. Frankly, This is the worlds largest AA group of kinds! ( I get a kick out of those who state they haven't used AA .....guess what, this is it w/o the step work - surprise!) The difference is we can ignore things here.....

Thanks for the terrific comments....2 left skates! That should be a screen name.....Glad you are doing well

peace

Your story should be required reading.....If you were in AA, it'd be in the Big Book

So much grace Dee......

I'm at four months and am right there with you! I do feel somewhat consumed. I started a new workout regimen and healthier eating so my natural obsessive personality is chanelef into that in terms of some goals .
