9 months sober

15 Oct

I have been woefully absent from the blogging world, stealing brief moments to read and comment.

I’ve been marking recovery milestones with posts, and it feels fantastic to type the words ‘9 months sober.’ 9 whole months. That’s insane.

Sobriety seemed so out of reach- without trying, I had become addicted to alcohol, with no sense of how I could escape. Yet here I stand.

Today’s post is very brief. All I want to say is:

HAPPY WEDNESDAY!

    9 months is HUGE! I’m so very happy for you today, you are such an amazing strong young lady and you should be massively proud of yourself. I might even have a twirl with my cuppa tomorrow in your honour…Lots of love Xxxxx

      Hahaha a celebratory twirl is definitely in order!

      Thanks so much for your support, especially in those really early days. I can never thank you enough!

        Do you think that some folk might think that we are twirling whilst holding hot tea?! I will put the tea down, before the twirl!

    Congratulations! I’m happy and envious – I would have been where you are today, almost to the day, but I tried the silly idea of moderation back in the spring. I’m on Day 3 today 🙂

    Good for you! Nine months is tremendous. So proud of the hard work and effort you have put in to living the life that’s intended for you.
    Peace,
    Linda

    9 months is absolutely amazing. I am in awe if you. I am now back to no months (or days) at all, but am still reading all the blogs I was always reading, and trying to keep up with my friends in this community. Well done, FFF! Annie x
