I forgot to tell you guys!!!!

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!!

WHOOOHOOO!!! This is great news! I am so proud of you!!! Yes it is a big milestone. Yes I recall where you were I hope others here who also struggle as you did can draw strength from your success!

yaaaaaaaaa. nice job! hey well you can look foward to lucky year 2, huh? put your mind on the prize..................a beautiful chip. mmmm, yes not really. but this is huge. thats a long time. and i hope things go from there with as much success as you have now.

best of luck with all of that.

(except i dont need to cross my fingers).....cause your already doin it.

I think that is fantastic, and very admirable.
Keep the faith, you are doing great.

SOOOOOOO proud of you Rayna!!!!!

way to go , nice. may you have healthy people to be around you (in AA).

Congrats Ray.
The running joke in my home group is "Be real careful at your 18 months, that is the danger date!” Of course they also say it at six months, 2 years, 5 years, 10 years, 20 etc. and always followed by lots of laughter.
Keep doing what you are doing, an keep getting what you are getting.

When I was coming up on one year, this guy told me "Remember the second year is the hardest and you don't have any credibility till 5" He was right about the 2nd year but man did I get a resentment about the year 5 thing, haha!
