LOL- seems like forever to me! I am hoping for 5 days tomorrow. Made it to 4 today!! I understand not putting together much time and being in the program, makes you think you could be the one who will just never get it. I have thought that about myself at least. I did put together 8 years my first real go at it and since then have only got a year or so, relapsed and lied about it, and on and on. For me I sometimes feel like God blessed me so much that 8 years and I walked away from it so I don't really deserve the wonderful gifts that sobriety brings. I look to people like you to show me it is possible again! Keep on putting one foot in front of the other and don't drink no matter what!!! (selfishly I want you to stick around so I know I can do it too)
In my experience, if you can make it to 3 or 4 months, you have everything that it takes to get to long term sobriety. This is not to say that it's an easy road, but you have the tools and it's obvious you can do it if you keep doing what you are a day at a time. 4 months sober doesn't mean you are clear and free (and neither does 4 years) but it certainly does mean something. Don't get complacent and keep up the good work with your program!

Thanks, Ya'll. We do good things together. My second sponsor's first assignment to me was "Count how many times "we" or other plural pronouns are used in the chapter "How It Works." It's a lot. We do this together. Nothing helps keep a sober drunk sober like working with their own kind. Thanks again. Rob
Blessings and congrats Rob...We are all newcomers to each day,Today we will work, to the best of our ability to remain free and goive back what we are so freely given.Peace my brother!! 123 days is a miracle,!!!!!!
