30 day chip
today is 30 days for me. I'm happy to (once again) reach this milestone. I'm a little troubled that I haven't been forthcoming about my length of sober time with my online recovery group. They know I drank during the holidays but I haven't let on that it lasted well past that. It's just hard to face that failure yet again. But I wanted to let someone know anyway so you guys are it.
Today I am grateful for:
waking up without a hangover
sleeping until 10:45 on Saturday morning--eek!
new spring clothes that are pretty stylish even if larger than I'd like
the opening of my favorite summer restaurant
fried scallops
friends who don't even notice that I didn't order a drink
my sister's 40th birthday party and no temptation to drink whatsoever
my little 5 month old niece who really seems to like me
that there's an extra bed in the house for when my husband's snoring keeps me awake

Big Ole hAAppy 30. That is so AWESOME!!! You show so much courage as you continue to walk through these bumps and holes in your path.
This is great news!!!
((Happy 30 Days Red head Gal!))
I am so glad you are sharing this with us because it shows courage!
Try not be afraid to admitt any slip ups or temptations.
We will still support your sobriety because we have all been there in one way shape or form :)
Great to have met you , be back soon.Thanks again for sharing~
Congrats on the 30 days!!
I like to hear stories about people slipping and coming back to tell us that it still isn't working out there! I truly admire someone that can be honest about their sobriety and tell us what is going on in their lives. That is what AA is all about. If everyone quit drinking and never went back out then I do believe the halls would be totally empty with lack of interest. Like they say "keep coming back...it works if you work it"!
YAY! Good job on your 30 days!
I am VERY HAPPY about the 30 days, no matter how many times you've done it before.
Dont' hold back on the honesty. Especially regarding slipping. Thre's no shame in "doing what we do." They MAY WELL be some shame in having to admit it much later.
As they say, "We're only as sick as our secrets."
