Ohmygosh...I hadn't realized how long it has been since I blogged. The post title should tell you .... yes I am still sober by the grace of God. Still doing really well and going to AA. Try to go daily but at least 4-5 a week. They really do help if you are considering going I would recommend it. I didn't like them at first but actually look forward to them now.
My mood is usually good. Life is not perfect but so much better than before. I am still very active and social. Spend time with friends and enjoy myself. There have been days when I really want to drink. I push through and don't. Saturday was 105 days. Last year I had 105 days and drank. Saturday was hard for me. The subconsious mind at play is my guess. I was restless and not sure what to do with myself. My friends all seemed busy and I was tempted to drink. Instead I got busy doing some things that I have been needing to do. The cravings passed and I was productive too!
So the longest sobriety time I have had was several years ago and I had almost 6 months. That I expect will prove to be a difficult time but maybe being prepared will help. I am loving life too much to go back to the mess it was before for just a few minutes of ... of what? Oblivion maybe? No thinking? Just the escape of alcohol I guess is what it was. Really though how long does the "good" last? For me not very long. Then it is a nightmare. So it is continuing sobriety for me!!
