Congratulations Mr. P!
One year here, too. And a few days at this point.
Work was a little wild these past few days and I didn't get over to post on our day. I was thinking about you, though. Answered your PM last night when I was able to find some quiet and log in.
Life is so much better now. Simpler. I made a post about it on the main board... that it's not that my life isn't exciting, because it is, but it's not out of control. The excitement is real, not a series of whirlwind, kicking the can down the road events of self imposed unnecessary drama, over and over. It's just more real.
So grateful.

Hi, FGO, Julia, MrP, and bexxed! So good to hear from you all.
It's 3:09 A.M where I am, which makes it August 15th... one year for me! I really had to sit and think about it tonight because it just seems so surreal. One year ago, I never would have dreamed of making it this far, but I kept going. One. Day. At. A. Time. I was grinning like an idiot while dwelling on all of this. I know what you mean about it being "easy" now. I was actually thinking the exact same thing earlier. Alcohol is just not a part of my life anymore. My mind/body is finally accustomed to doing and chasing after other things. Sobriety is second nature now.
You guys played such a huge role in getting my sobriety in motion. I am so grateful. I am so proud of all of us.

Today is day 365 and I am grateful for the transformation that has come with it. I feel alive again and not numbed out.
When drinking it is like hitting the pause button on the stereo of life or in some cases like accidently hitting the rewind button. I plan on spending this next year in the play mode again.
Congratulations to all at the 1 year mark and for those who have stumbled along the way keep trying because it is worth it.

Well it sure is quiet in here!
Just wanted to stop in and see how everyone is doing and let you all know Im doing well, coming up on 15 months sober. I have a new job, am in school full time, quit smoking cigs and have a new grandbaby born last Saturday!
Life is really good right now. Not gonna say its always easy but its all worth it!
Just wanted to say thanks to all of you all here. I am sure I wouldnt be where i am without the support and encouragement that I recieved in the early days especially, from SR!
Praying that anyone reads this is blessed beyond measure!

So much love to all of you! I bounced in to see what everyone was up to; took awhile to find the thread. It’s quiet but sounds like many are doing well. Congrats on kicking the cigs, Oona, and the grand baby! I kicked the cigs, too, except probably not really because I traded for vape. I feel better but I know they say vaping is still bad. Based on how I feel, I can’t completely buy that it’s nearly as bad as the analogs, though. So good to hear from you, too, CP and Julia!

Hope all is well for everyone of this class. I hope most have moved on to better times.
If not, I hope you will find better times sooner rather than later.
I'm grateful for all the companionship and support this class gave me back when time were real tough.
Thank you Classmates.
