Six Months and counting (well not really)
Permalink  

Friends,

It has been awhile.  Thought I would check in for the new year.  Husband has been sober 6 months now - a record for him (his streach of sobriety began right after court problems in Rhode Island were cleared up).  Doing totally for himself.  No court order or anything.  We have also been doing major renovations on our house which have been keeping him very busy.  He is not going to AA or any outpatient program but what he is doing is working.  He has been in good spirits and is feeling good about himself and of course his health has been improving.  We are committed to each other more than ever and our relationship is moving forward.  I have been taking care of myself both spiritually and physically - also a good thing.  I am optimistically hopeful for the new year (though I know the disease is always present).

Just wanted to let you all know that things can improve.

Lisa

Good to hear from you stranger!  HAPPY NEW YEAR!  I try not to count anymore either.  The minute he does, he gets cocky and relapses.  You and I both know that this is not an easy area to recover in.  Congrats to him and you. Glad all is well with you both.  Love and blessings to you and your family.

Live strong,
Karilynn & Pipers Kitty smile

Aloha Lisa!!  Good to see you around it has been awhile.  Glad to hear he has 6 months and was hoping that he wasn't trying it alone.  Alone and Alcoholism and addiction work hand and hand. (from my ESH signed the Lone Ranger). You keep coming back.  Don't stay away so long.   ((((hugs))))smile

Wow! Wonders never cease eh? Six months is awesome.
Ya know, my husband is doing his sobriety on his own too. AA just isn't for everyone, especially when his HP is allowed to take the lead. Some people just need to find their own way and with determination and their own kind of self therapy...it works. I haven't even seen any isms. I have truly witnessed a miracle. There are always exceptions to the rule.
Mine will be sober 2 yrs next month. :) Life is good.

Congrats to the both of you,
Christy
