Tomorrow makes 9 months sober and I haven't had cravings for the last 6 months or so. I don't post to the daily check in every day and I almost feel like I don't belong there either. I know better on that front also. I have made it longer than this a couple of times.
OTOH, I don't feel like I belong in most normal social situation either. I probably am isolating myself too much.

I would say most here have doubted if we are really bp as we get more stable ... I myself felt that for a long time ... everyones life and experiences are so different ... the substance abuse is so common in bp as to almost be a marker for it ... 9 months sober is such a great event and you should be so proud of yourself ...
do you belong here ... yes ... why ... because of the strength you can find here ... because of the strength you can give to us ... we all feel as an outsider at times ... I myself isolate almost completely (except at work where I have no choice) ... but here ... I feel accepted ...
