oh em hoyt

I hit seven months today and it’s freaking awesome! It is a little strange how each month/milestone feels a little different. For the record, I think any amount of time sober is something to be celebrated. I was so amped about hitting the 6 month mark and rightfully so, six months of sobriety is nothing to take lightly. I made it a big deal, my husband made it a big deal, it was a big deal!

And then, just like that, a month flew by and yesterday, I was like “oh shit, I’m gunna be seven months sober tomorrow!” Now, it couldg be because of the craziness of the holiday season, but this one kind of crept on me! It doesn’t make it any less important, but without the anticipation like I had at six months, it feels like just another box checked off the list. That might make it seem like “oh well, no biggie” but when I think about it, the fact that it’s becoming more “normal” to hit another month, only makes me feel more solid in my recovery. So in its own, different way, this one is special too!

So here’s to seven months sober af for your girl! And here’s to anyone celebrating one day, one month, ten years, or one freaking hour of sobriety. Ya’ll are powerful and strong and you can fucking do this!
