I can't believe I forgot to post on October 24. On that day I had 18 months!!!! A year and a half has gone by, unbelievable. The meetings here don't give out 18 month chips but there's a sobriety store in town and my boyfriend went and got me one. I know it's not a typical milestone celebrated in meetings, but a friend of mine in California says they give out 18 month chips at meetings and call them the whiner chip. It's a nice little present since you go the whole first year getting chips and then nothing till year 2 . So now I have that in my pocket. Hard to believe that a year ago I only had 6 months. Most of you have been with me since the very beginning and some of you knew me back when I used to "drunk post" and "drunk chat". Thank you all for being a part of my last 18 months!!
