It's Been a While But Still Pushing On

I haven't posted in a while. But just in case anyone following this blog wants to know, I am still moving forward.

As of today, it's been 6 months and 3 weeks since I had my last drink. February 14 I received my 6 month chip at AA. All the guys were thrilled for me.

I've had several dreams in which I'm drinking alcohol. And when I awake, I'm glad it was only a dream.

There are actually some days when I don't think about alcohol at all. And that's great. I have no regrets about leaving alcohol behind. The best part of sobriety is waking up every morning with a clear conscience. No condemnation. Because the condemnation is shattering. And crushing. And then that turns into self-loathing. And that's really hard, because you can't run away from yourself.

So anyone out there reading this, just know, it IS possible to stop drinking. I did. You can too.
