Hello everyone
Nearly at 9 months sober and so proud of how far I have came :slight_smile: it’s been a bumpy ride but I’ve got through it even the hardest of times and I’m battling my mental illness every day and also coping much better with my symptoms without alcohol as I was using to cope with my illness.

This is actually first time I’ve used the community so looking to maybe make some friends from it and see the support I can get from it :slight_smile:

Dang, Craig! Welcome to the forum and congrats on 9 months! Alcohol makes all of our mental ailments so much worse. I am glad you chose to join TS. What other positive changes have you noticed since quitting alcohol? How have you stayed sober? I would love to get to 9 months, and appreciate any of your insights. Again, welcome to TS!

Thanks so much for your kind words and it’s crazy the amount of changes I’ve noticed over the 8 and a half months I’m more self aware, sleeping amazing, feeling amazing and more motivated, hardly any anxiety. It let’s my meds work so much better too as I suffer from borderline personality disorder. You will get there just keep at it :raised_hands:

I’m at 8 months and 16 days… I thought that you were only a couple of days ahead of me.
Not that the exact date matters, it’s that we’re still going !

Hugh milestone. I am currently 9 months, 8 days sober and can totally relate. I feel absolutely wonderful and I have a whole new outlook on life. I’m eating healthier and lost over 20 pounds. Best wishes to you and may we both have continued success. This sober time community is very helpful and has gotten me out of a lot of rocky situations. God speed.
