yay!


I went to a meeting! I went to a meeting! I went to a meeting! Woohoo!

I also picked up my 6 month chip at my other home group tonight. (They say around here to pick up a chip at all of your groups so that everyone can see you make progress.) And I got to see other people pick up chips too -- including one guy who got a 24-year chip, and another guy who picked up a white chip (a "I-want-to-stop-drinking-even-if-it's-just-for-today" chip).

It feels so good to know that I was right where I needed to be. Thank God for meetings with other recovering alcoholics.

Today, I'm especially thankful for ...

  • being 188 days sober
  • MEETING WITH OTHER RECOVERING ALCOHOLICS!
  • the awesome people who read my blog and share words of wisdom and encouragement
  • the nice people at work who have been helping me learn new things
  • my cool family and cute dog
  • God, because He helped me get to a meeting today, and I was desperate

6 months is GREAT!! That's nearly half a year already.

Have you changed the name of this blog? Should I update on my sidebar link?

6 months rocks!!! And you go and pick up those chips. When I got my year I became a "cake whore." It was tiring but what a ride!

They mean so much, those plastic, and in some cases, metal chips. It is exciting to see you do this.
