Well done, not drinking!!

And always remember, while it's good to be aware of triggers - they are harmless unless we pull them.

Keep it up!

Hi Mummy2to, I totally relate to how you feel. I am 20 months sober and have been faced with so many challenges - actually the past 6 months have been a test of note and my AV is always hovering somewhere in the background BUT I have experienced great emotional/mental/spiritual growth in going through and dealing with these challenges sober and with a clear mind..... its actually so much easier facing life sober :-) Glad you have chosen to not pick up!
