Checking in, 6 months
I haven't been posting lately, but I read here a lot. I have 6 months sober today. I'm feeling better than I ever have, and I have a new found hope I never had before. I feel I have finally accepted that I will never drink again, and am proud of that. A lot of yoga and meditation have helped me come to this realization. When I get cravings, and they do happen, I practice mindfulness and reference HALT, (hungry angry lonely tired.) Every time when I fill these four basic needs, I feel much better and the anxiety passes. Thank you to everyone who has helped me reach my longest stretch of sobriety. So excited to see what is next in this land of unknown possibilities

Thanks RE, and good job to you as well. I figure I've exhausted every way to drink and I know how it always turns out. I'm not interested in that anymore. I want to see all the unknowns that sobriety can bring... That has endless outcomes to choose from that are all new and exciting. I'm used to sabotaging my life when things start to go well... Not stopping this time! Only new experiences ahead.
