    I make 6 months today!

    Today iam 6 months sober. It has not been easy but keeping my eye on the prize got me this far. There have been sleepless nights due to severe insomnia, crippling anxieties, depression, hopelessness but I am glad I am pressing on. Thankfully my body and brain are healing and my sleep and anxieties are soo much better. I started the year strong, inspite of the mid year slip, I am so happy I am ending it strong.
    Thanks you to all those who have encouraged me along the way. Pauly, Pie, Guitarist, AbcCowboy, Starty, Idefineme And anyone else who offered a kind word of encouragement.
    I am reclaiming pieces of me day by day and only know that ir keeps getting better and better. Greater is he who is in me than alcohol. He has started good work in me and is faithful to complete it.
    Its for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm then and DO NOT let yourself be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. Gal 5:1

    This is just wonderful to see Lizker.
    I remember your posts in the early days and I can see from your profile picture how great you look now!
    You are an excellent example of the benefits of quitting alcohol.
    And you know, I think maybe the next 6 months sober are going to be even better.
    Bless you girl!

                    liz, I'm so happy for you, and so proud of you! I remember way back when, you were here when I joined and asked about why your picture wasn't right lol, well it still isn't right, but you definitely have the right attitude and the right way of living now. I think we both got our inspiration, strength, and courage from the same source, and with Him by our sides, I don't think we can go to far wrong! Enjoy your special day my friend!
                    Quitting and staying quit isn't easy, its learning a whole new way of thinking. It's accepting a new way of life, and not just accepting it, embracing it...
                    Worry about tomorrow, tomorrow. Just get through today. Tomorrow will look after itself when it becomes today, because today is all we have to think about.
                    Friendship is not about how many friends you have or who you've known the longest. It's about who walked into your life, said "I'm here for you", and proved it.

                          Awww, Thanks a lot guys. Eloise that was beautiful, yes I was quite struggling there for a while. Almost gave up trying and jus life in general. Wow, what a difference a few short months make.
                          Lifechange, iam very excited and looking forward to actually living, something I hadn't done in years. Will keep you posted.
                          Guitarist, Thanks, will do everything in my power to keep moving forward.
                          I defineme, thanks alot for that. You too are a great contributor here.
                          Overit and Norac, I appreciate the well wishes. You are doing wonderful Norac.
                          Byrdlady, Thanks a lot for all you do.
                          Abc...lol, I have tried to change the photo but I think the settings here may not be compatible with my devices. I tried different photos, they all go sideways. Only happens on this site...You are absolutely right. With God on our side, we are more than equipped to handle anything that comes our way. It's amazing how he never allows us to quit and is our strength when we think that we can't handle anymore.
                          Jvo and Marylou, thanks alot ladies...
