9 months on St. Patrick's Day

Today I’m 9 months sober, tomorrow I go on a charity run aroun a brewery. I am not looking forward to all of the questioning when I am the only one on our team abstaining from drinking afterward, but I am confident in my skills and support network and believe I can stay sober. Tomorrow I’m also gonna pick up my 9 month chip at my homegroup after the race so I have that to look forward to. I have not been doing the stepwork I should be doing and I’m holding out and hoping to feel a renewed connection to my higher power every day. But overall, life has been kinder than I expected it to be 9 months ago and I’m not afraid to keep fighting.

I don’t really know how to end this off but thanks to everyone for all their support.

If you don’t want to tell people that you’re sober. Then tell them that you’re on a new medication where you can’t drink. Congratulations on all that you have accomplished and all that you will accomplish.

Congratulations on your 9 months! Kick some sober hangover free running ass!!

Way to go on 9 months. That’s an achievement.

Awesome! What an opportune time for a chip.

Run your butt off!
