Six months
Not much to say besides:
Yay. Hope you're all well.

- It hasn't been easy and life is still tough sometimes
- Waking up with no hangover is still the best feeling ever
- I am going to keep going
Yay. Hope you're all well.

Keep going, and when it gets rough, try practicing gratitude.

Well I'd say I've been doing pretty well. Still enjoying my new job and have met some great people. Told a few about my sobriety and they were all either supportive or simply didn't make a fuss which is also nice. I am hoping to move out soon with a friend, I'm 29 and need to do this just to feel more independent (even though I'm doing it with someone else haha). Still haven't brought myself to attend an AA meeting yet. Considering therapy though, just to 'let it all out'.
I will say, I am grateful so much more than I've ever been. I went to see my best friend today and when I got there he was dreadfully hungover so I only stayed a short while. I couldn't wait to get out of there to be honest. I did come over quite evangelical in my mind because I certainly didn't envy him and thought "Well, I don't have that problem anymore". Kind of sad for him though as he does say he wants to stop quite a lot. His sister is getting married in November and her husband (they've already had a different ceremony) is Muslim, so people have been told to bring their own drink as alcohol won't be served at the venue they've chosen. My friends first response was "Thank God, I couldn't make it through a wedding without a drink" and mine was "Oh they should have just banned the alcohol" 😂 I'm looking forward to my first big sober event.
Sorry this turned into a bit of a ramble haha.

Congrats on six months, that's awesome. Every day I wake up I try to make it a habit to be grateful for another day. Sometimes I forget why I choose to be sober today until the day gets going a bit. I lean on my support, my God, others in recovery, whatever it takes. I read this forum and so often at a loss for words as what to say to anyone. I want to fix the problem but I can't, I can only share my experience, strength and hope. God Bless and keep going, the best is yet to come.
