Reenie, that is so awesome! Congratulations!

I only hope one day to be in your shoes. You gave me some great advice early on (when things were really, really bad). Your's and Bear's advice kept me AF that day (and every one since). You don't know how much respect and admiration I have for you. There are no words.

Thanks for letting us know how great your progress has been and continues to be. I wish you the best of luck in any and all things ventured.

Love, Me

7 months is awsome Reenie...I'm way behind but I hope to get there someday myself. I'm curious as to how it feels at that point? Does it ever feel like you're just a "normal" person, or does it always feel like AL is just one step behind you, waiting for one little slip up?

I so appreciate everyone's congratulations. Until I wrote to all of you, did I tell anyone that today makes 7 months AF for me. Only "we" know how tough it is to reach the milestones we strive for. BELIEVE, you asked if I ever feel like a "normal" person, or does it always feel like AL is just one step behnid me, waiting for one little slip up? That is such a good question. I sincerely can say, I feel more and more like a normal person specifically in social situations where alcohol is involved. By now, the alcohol is out of me. The cells within my body have adjusted and I no longer crave drinking alcohol. I no longer want the buzz it used to give me. I enjoy having control over my thoughts and actions. I miss the taste of Cabernet and my favorite mixed drink, Absolute, Cranberry and Club, yet I KNOW I can't go there because one drink will lead to another and eventually I will spiral out of control. At this point, I am aware of my options. If I don't take the first drink, my life will continue to be manageable. I'm always aware that I'm one drink away from a slip up. Yet, I try not to dwell on it. I contstantly remind myself of all the good that have come into my life now that I'm AF. It's a mind over matter thing. I hope I was able to give you some understanding on how I feel. I'm not infallable, but right now I feel strong. I want to help those who really want to go AF and encourage them that they can do it. I dug deep withing myself and finally "got it down". Thanks again. -Reenie
