past one year
I made it over one year of being sober 
I was reading Anthony Kiedis book, scar tissue, he is the lead singer wiht the red hot chilli peppers, a chronic heroin relapser
But the more I was reading about him relasping the more I was fantasising about pouring a Jim Beam and cola and the feeling of getting drunk
Its gone now but, I wonder will that always happen, i should get more stuck in and maybe do the steps, but i have a big problem with all the references to God in the steps
I have lost my ability to meet girls, I have no idea how you chat to a girl sober! so I havent had any ANY contact with a female in over 1 year of sobriety, I live in Berlin, dont speak german very well, which doesnt help but still!
I have almost stopped socialising, going to concerts or pubs or parties, anywhere I will be bored, before i would just fill the boredom with drinking. this is the worst time of the year, its cold and miserbale and dark and there is nothing to do, I love outdoor activities.. but this is climate induced outdoor persuits break.
I go to AA international group here to make friends, and remind myself that if it wasnt for that meeting in the first place I might not still be sober. I love the meeting after the meeting bit
there is a party at my work place in a few hours, I was just helping them bring the crates of beer in! that made me get on here and ramble and read
sorry
Roy

Roy,
Grats On The Year Of Sobriety. That's Great
U Talk To A Girl Sober Coherently Something Not Done To Often Drinking.
Don't Be Shy, Just Talk. If, There's Chemistry You'll Know It.

Stay In Touch Let Us Know How You're Doing Over There

Roy, you are awesome!! Over a year, that's incredible. Keep up the great work.
You will find a way to speak with women sober. I think you should keep posting here, and if you ever want to chat (even tho I'm a woman lol) just let me know. ((HUGS))

whatever you heard about berlin, forget it, it was cool when the wall was up, contained people gave them a unified voice and reason etc. now it is a huge srawlling grey city with no centre, no atmosphere. maybe in another 10-20 years it will bounce back

Well you know what I mean, not in a sleazy way, but see a woman I like and want to connect with and do something about it..sober! scary for some reason, its a confidence thing underlying my relationship with the booze.
