Six months ☺️

I am feeling so grateful to be where I am today.
this weekend marks Six months sober, my would have been second wedding anniversary, and exactly one year since I came to the realization that alcohol had ruined everything. The seed was planted and I was ready to die, one year ago.
Shortly after that I was recommended by a friend to create an account on Sober Recovery, which I did. This place was my first life line and still is crucial in my recovery. I have logged on every night since I got sober.
this and AA have saved me, granted me so many friends all over and have made me believe what I’d always known but never saw; that people are good and do good just to do it. Just because they want to see another suffering person succeed in finding joy.
Today, I spent the day with my sister and baby niece running errands, I went to a meeting and picked up my chip to the cheers of my friends, I was encouraged to go eat with two friends even though I didn’t feel like it and I ended up having an incredible time.
Today was a regular day, nothing crazy, nothing too excited and that’s just how I wanted it. 🙂
I love you SR family thank you for being there for me always.

Night!
Nic

Just great!

I'm six weeks behind you in our sobriety marathon and hence I followed your path closely. Your emphatic writing conjured a big smile on my face this morning. To me, it still feels completely unreal how effortless my life is today. That's why terms like 'finding joy', 'regular day' and 'people are good' ring a massive bell!

I'm very happy for you. Great job, Nicole, have a good night.
