GOOD FOR YOU!!! That's wonderful! That's quite an accomplishment and i hope you're proud! I remember when I hit 6 months - i didn't even know I could hit 6 days, let alone 6 months!!  I'd been a HEAVY drinker for over 20 years so 6 months was really a surprise to me! LOL
i wasn't at all sure about the spiritual thing either - but I "faked it til I made it." I prayed and prayed - not knowing if anyone heard me - until I became so miserable that I got down on my knees bawling and begging for something to help me - and all of a sudden I felt like the whole world had lightened up - and I got this overwhelming feeling of peace, along with a weird warmth that came over my body!!! This stayed like this for about 5 minutes - and then went away. I'd had a spiritual experience!!! WOW!!! That blew my mind! I didn't wonder any more if there was a power greater than me -- I had just FELT it!
This happened one other time - and I'm so grateful. God is alive and He's working thru AA. God bless and again congratulations. Hugs, Lee
