    6 months today! :)

    Hi guys
    Just wanted to celebrate with u all that i am 6 months AF today! That is the longest i have ever been sober! Feeling so proud of myself today!!!!
    I've lost nearly 3 stone too. 40 lbs to be precise.
    What a journey........................................
    I can't even express how much this website has helped me and how amazing u all are so thankyou from the bottom of my heart :thanks:
    My next challenge will be to get thru xmas and new year. I know my husband has about 3 huge bottles of JD coming in from work at xmas and i've been obsessing like crazy about it. It will be torture watching him slurp thru it all and no he wont give it away cos he drinks every day and loves JD. I used to drink it like water If i ever think i'm cured and don't have a problem i have to remind myself a "normal" person wouldn't be obsessing and thinking about the JD coming into the house. They wouldn't of given it a second thought would they?
    I have to remember the hangovers and all the nasties that go with it. Although they seem like a distant memory i have to try and remember every horrendous feeling that went hand in hand with the poison!
    I feel so amazing right now and don't want to jeopardise it. My skin is great, i sleep 9 hours of amazing sleep every night, i have so much energy, all my anxiety has gone, my BP has come down, i've lost so much weight, and i'm a much nicer person. I need to carry on being AF and all u wonderful people help me every single day :thanks:

      Congratulations, Vegan. I love that you shared all the positive things about your health & general well being. I could say I want that, and we all know I could have it. Just do what you are doing. 40# loss is amazing!

            Thanks guys
            Like i say my husband drinks every day but he has 2 or 3 beers which doesn't bother me. I only ever drank vodka, rum and whisky. None of these have been in my house since i quit but i know it's coming in at xmas. Deep breaths........................................... ...
            I shall be logging on here ALOT!
            I keep watching Intervention on Youtube aswell just to remind myself what an arse i used to be and how unwell i was x

              Great job Vegan! Congrats on 6 months and your weight loss.

              It's good that you have awareness of the Christmas situation. You need to prepare and make a plan. Best wishes to you.

                Well done Vegan, you sound so full of energy and the positives of not drinking alcohol.

                  Congrats, Vegan, on reaching 6 months. Have you thought of making a nice long list of all the ways your life is better without alcohol? At some level you still want to drink. I am grateful that I have reached the point where I truly don't want to drink. You could look on the tool box thread for the list of 100 things to do to stay sober. Many of those ideas were very helpful to me.
                  My life is better without alcohol, since 9/1/12. My sobriety tool is the list at permalink 236 on the toolbox thread under monthly abstinance.
