Today marks my 6 months sober.. Part of me feels really happy and proud and physically I feel a lot better and my head is definitely a lot less fuzzy. But I'm definitely finding it hard. Last night I had really bad cravings & I'm finding it hard to deal with all of the emotions that I'm suddenly feeling instead of numbing them out with alcohol. I know I'm definitely better off sober and that this is the path I want to be on - I'm just finding it hard right now. I've been letting the spirituality part of my program slide a bit, which has probaboy been a mistake & I need to get back to that. But overall I'm a lot clearer than I was 6 months ago and feel, most of the time, that I can deal with life.

YAY CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!! 6 months is half a year.
 The first year is all about that emotional roller coaster. Right now you're on Magic Mountain but eventually you'll be chillin on the kiddy coaster. It gets better....and you know it gets better cuz its still better than week one right? Did you call your sponsor or another woman last night when you had the craving? Thats a good habit to get into. I've found that when I'm coming up on a chip, thats when I'll get cravings. Its like my HP reminding me of why I'm celebrating the chip. You're doing great, and we've all been where you're at. Its sooo fun to watch you grow in sobriety. I am very proud of you!!!!!

Split…
Six months, that is a long time. Congratulations! I think you are right, letting our spiritual connection grow thin is not a good idea. It is what keeps us from falling back into the shadows of this spiritual disease again. Everybody who has any time under their belts finds a way to do that. Each of us go at it a little differently, but it always comes back to the basics… Trust God, clean house, and help others. Split, find another woman that needs a ride to a meeting, and play taxi. Start taking a meeting into the local detox. It is hard to romance a drink in a place like that. Or just stand in the door of your meeting and shake the hand of each and every person that shows up. And when you get ready to go to bed tonight sober, take the time to tell God Thank You! Richard |
