Just my annual visit. 6 Years sober today.

Many congratulations!!:T:A


I think you've done well to keep things to a minimum and as tidy as you can. One thing I've found since doing a version of Marie Kondo is that when I came to pack for recent holiday it was so easy to find everything and transfer to suitcase. Hopefully it'll work like that for you moving home. Apologies if a bit off topic but I find being in control helps everything including AF.

Well done to everyone this month - October seems to have been good for a lot of people!

I am proud to add another AFD to my total, so I am now standing at 23/22 - over target and chuffed to bits:T

Going to sneak in an extra day for November and go for 23 please Shaggy x

At last, AFD no. 9 in the bag! I'm looking forward to waking up full of beans tomorrow!

And jolly well done, too!

27/31 for October and a full house again, 30 for November please Shaggy.

I was wondering how long it's okay to go on posting on this thread. I think I can now say with a sliver of confidence and a bit of trust in myself that I have actually given up the booze. However, I'm still a little bit needy when it comes to the support - a bit like ditching the waterwings when you learn to swim. I don't like the idea of not being part of this thread at all, very much like going out of my depth, in fact. I wonder how long that feeling lasts - I'm on Day 459 for goodness sake!

I don't believe there is a time limit at all. Keep on posting!
I'd say you have well and truly given up the booze.

I know for myself (8+ yrs sober) that I need to do the things that I do to stay sober, so meetings, threads, meditation, etc all need to be done frequently.
Booze no longer plays a part in my life, but I think it would do within a few months or years if I stopped doing the things I do to get me sober initially.

I believe I will always be an alcoholic, and either a 'recovering alcoholic' or an 'active alcoholic'
Being active was not much fun...
