5 months
well it has been 5 months today and it is a awesome experience. It hasnt been easy but it is getting easier and easier with each day. Things are really looking up for me. I got a job I like but wish I had more hours but its a job, I feel great. Remodeling the house, getting my life back together ect. I love sobriety and I hope not to go back to my old ways.
It's people like you that keep me inspired to stay sober. 
Good for you! Blessings

Great Job!!!
Not to put a damper on your sobriety so far. I'm happy for you. But....
From one alki to another, remember that alcohol is cunning, baffling, powerful AND patient. The beast will attack you when you least expect it, especially when everything is going well.
Take it from someone whose been there...Life is getting good, job is going well, family life getting back on track, meetings, sobriety, prayer, recovery, gets placed on the back burner. Then it's 3 months down the road and someone offers you a drink, or your away on business somewhere you've never been, where no one knows you, and what will one hurt anyway? right? what will one night of getting blasted again hurt? no one will know? I'll get back on the wagon when I return home... but then it's two years later and you wonder where your sobriety went, where your sanity went, why on earth is life worse now than it was two years ago.
Then you remember that drunk while you were away...and the need to cover up the lies again with the drink, and all the crap that goes along with the obsession to drink.
Don't let it happen to you. It doesn't have to. Stay sober. Do the things that you need to do to stay sober, cope with life and be happy.
