I understand exactly what you mean, I went to treatment in 1985, had about 5 months and pursued an old love, that ended with my 3rd DUI, got sober 6 months later. But only because the Higher Power showed me the contrast between my misery and the life people found in recovery, you see I was only going to meetings to get people to write letters to the court so I wouldn't lose my driver's license. But then a friend at work who had been court order asked me if I was still going to meetings, I said 'Yeah, but I'm not really into it if you know what I mean." He replied with, "Gee, that's a shame."
Those words burned into my soul.
One month is a great achievement

Congrats! We are proud of you!
I'm a real alcoholic and I have struggled all my life. It took me many years to get my first year. So I know how big one month is. I know what it's like to start out with day number one and every minute seems like an hour. I also know what it's like to wake up the day after after I had built up a significant period of sobriety all because I believed a big lie the night before that this time, everything would be okay. But it wasn't.
Make sure you play the scene all the way forward in your next desire to drink. And it will come. Congratulations!
Keep up the good work
I know what it’s like to feel like nobody understands me. I think we as alcoholics struggle with this more than “normal” people. That’s why it’s so important for me to have other recovering alcoholics in my life. Because they understand!! Unfortunately it always seems to be the people I care about the most that are unable to understand me. And that’s ok. Acceptance is the answer to all of my problems today. I am the sum of my experiences. And we as recovering alcoholics are not less than normal. We are MORE than!! We get to have experiences that normal people do not!! You should be very proud of where you are today!! Keep doing the next right thing!! You got this!!!!
Strong! job! Stay strong!
Congratulations! That’s a long time!!
Stay strong!!! It takes a while before family and friends will believe and accept your sobriety. Keep on the right path and things will get better. Our relationships will mend in God's time..
That is awesome!
Awesome!!!! It only gets better and better.
We're all happy for you!
