Today marks the first six months of my alcohol-free journey. I do not consider it a big win, a significant milestone, or the like. I have made a good progress. That's it.

However, my perception of time is fascinating. Let's roll back to six months ago. I did not expect anything. However, I thought there were some changes within the two, three, or six months. Two months was a long period, I thought, not to mention three or six. Two and three, and six months passed. No obvious changes. Not the things I had expected to happen. Six months was a blast.

I do know that there were positive effects in the first six months. And the building blocks are forming. I lived in the "internet time," where a few hours is considered "a long time ago." My perception of time was changed.

That is the major issue. Things do not move faster; grow faster because we want them to be.

I must be aware of that fact. Good things take time. Whenever I expect a result, ask "Do I give it enough time?"

Let's see how my perception of time will change for the next six months.
