I have been sober for 6 months now! In those first few days I never thought I could make it to this point. I didn't think it was possible. Now I don't wake up in the morning with a hangover. I don't have to look back through my phone to see who I called or text the night before and have to wonder what I said. No more getting up to count the bottles in the garbage to see how much I drank.

My life is so much better in just 6 short months! Thank you to AA and my HP for getting me this point.
Hugs from:

Each time I read about another person's progress, it causes me to stop and ask myself questions. I am not sober yet - but it is my goal. Thank you for sharing your success!
