Just passed 11 months. The best of my life.
Every now and then it's good to read about how sobriety is so great.
I am loving life.

Lol, Thanks Andrew!

We sang this song at my wedding. It's hard, when we cross over into recovery, to look back at what we did to ourselves. But by G*d, it makes us appreciate life now!

Congratulations on 11 months. Keep doing what you're doing and you'll keep getting what you're getting!

Congrats on your 18 months. That's amazing.

And thanks for the first video. Made me smile, and cry. I haven't checked out the second yet.

This is me,

I just realized that you have 18 months now as the thread originated in May. Way to go! Glad to see you have kept us posted. Hope to see more of you around here.
