Reading Rosie's marked time in sobriety posts this morning, it occured to me I have 11 months TODAY! I remember getting the shakes in the past over my time without a drink. Amazing how things can change when I work for that change.
I feel very grateful at this moment. The memory of my last drunk hit me upside the head! In the rooms of AA I've heard that if you can't remember your last drunk, you probably haven't had it yet......I'm grateful that a 15hr relapse didn't cause me to lose what I had gained prior and I'm grateful that same relapse has taught me sooooo much more.

Congrats Doll!!! Our anniv is one month apart!!! Great job!
I too heard the other day that people get a bit "weirded out" on their one year anniversaries! Its a good reminder to us to share where were at and be on the alert for those feelings!

You are another inspiration to me. I love the dates now and keeping track is better for me and something I never did before. I would stop drinking and it would only be a few days but because it felt like two weeks I would think it was until I got to counting. So now I am counting and it helps me and helps me to have a true perspective on it.
I look forward to the ten month and eleven month mark but I also am enjoying the 11 day mark. I just realized I was day 10 with Lanis month 10 and day 11 with your month 11. I love it!!!
God bless you and enjoy. You are blessed. Love Rosie
