Wow, 6 months is so AWESOME!!
Happy Birthday, SKG...you are an inspiration and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing your journey, your experience, strength and hope and sharing who you are with us....It has been an absolute pleasure having you as part of my recovery and I am grateful that our paths in this journey have crossed....
Enjoy your day!

Thank-you, Stacey. Thanks for the support. It's time for that 'next step' in my recovery methinks. I avoided AA until I couldn't any longer. I'll try to chronical the journey just in case someone else can use it, but I truly appreciate everyone I've "met" online. I'm probably too naiive for this medium, but I genuinely still believe in people and trust them until/unless they prove otherwise. I'd hope my dronings encourage others to do the same because it's in sharing that we grow stronger. It's selfish, too. Kind of a dichotomy, eh?
Peaceness--and thanks.

SKG, I can't believe it has been six months already! Way to go..........so grateful for your posts...
Way to go SKG!!!! That first 6 months is a b****. It was for me anyway. Be careful though. After about 6 months my booze brain started to tell me that if I could make it 6 months then I was fine. I started to think that I could drink again. Luckily many people on this board helped me realize that it was my addiction trying to call me back. I am still sober today! Keep up the good work pal!!!
Hi SKG,
Well done. You have a lot to be proud of. And I want to say thanks for sharing so honestly and regulalry. Your posts really mean a lot to me and today I am five weeks sober. So take a bow! You are helping many people to stay with the programme.

RUTH! Absolutely wonderful! I'm SOO happy for you 'cause when I first saw your initial post I felt an immediate connection--like this person's experience is alot like ME--except for biting--that's kinda private... ~smirk~ But still, I am so very very glad for you--and isn't the clarity and serenity wonderful?
I've just yesterday officially gone and gotten myself a sponsor--"when the student is ready the teacher will appear"--and oddly enough, he's one of the first guys I tried to block out at meetings. An internal medicine doctor who's ESH seemed to mirror mine--but much more extreme.
So after 6 months I've decided to take the next step in sobriety--I'll keep you posted! And what's the first thing we did? Talk. Well, he talked and I listened--and we read the Big Book--The Doctor's Opinion wherein it actually DOES prove that we are (Step 1) "Powerless over alcohol." Truly--and the medical proof.
Now THIS stuff I can get my head around!
Keep it going, Ruth, and keep growing! I am so amazed at just how much there is to learn about being sober and not drinking--every little thing every day is fascinating! Partly because I can actually SEE it, but also because the world has slowed down around me. Serenity RAWKS!

It's so great to read posts where folks are on fire for the Program, on fire to jump into sobriety and recovery....makes my heart sing!
