Keep moving forward--you got the hang of it! Stay motivated, stay positive! It gets better with each passing month until you are not longer having to focus on staying sober--it just IS. You're not far off!

Thank you Missy2. I hope you have a great one also! I am going to an alcohol free cookout and fireworks show sponsored by one of the AA groups I attend. I so look forwards to hanging out with a lot of the many friends I have met since I found AA.

Seems like you are getting it! 60 plus days is a good foundation.

Have you heard what they say?
It takes 21 days to change a habit......or 21 times to change a habit....I translate that into....you have gone over 21 days..establishing new habits and behaviors...so you have an excellent chance of success.

     I was recently separated from my wife of 33 years and it's complicated. Anyway I rented a room about 15 minutes away and I see my kids about once a week. I see the people who own the house I live in once in a while but other than that I stay in my room where I do my cooking, wash dishes in the shower, read, color, and sleep. I get out at least once a day. I grocery shop and I attend 2 meetings...
