Eighteen months
Posted On 06/06/2008 17:03:41 by Cara

Boy was I glad I didn't give in to temptation when my sponsor presented me with an 18 month medallion at the meeting this week. I had completely forgotten and he was about a month out too but it was a real boost. Had a joke with the others and said I would give my 12 month one to the first person to get there. I cannot take credit for this success, my higher power must. And I am just coming up to two months without fantasies. I still struggle. This week I was definitely looking with interest at a work colleague too, good job he's far too much of a gentleman to take the bait.

And I have to remind myself that at least now I know why I am doing these things and why I shouldn't do them and that they do not bring me a fraction of the joy that my new friendships do or caring for myself and others.

There is some talk about setting up a new meeting in another area close to where I live, carrying the message further north. It would be good to be a part of that. Cara

"Progress, not perfection"...is a slogan I constantly remind myself of during moments like these. Twelve months or two- don't forget to examine how far you've come already! In practice, recovery isn't as easy as it sounds, but the rewards we receive from the work we put into it is astounding. :)
