Class of December 2008 here ... I wanted to throw my support your way too.
It's hard to believe it was a year ago this month.
In 30 years of attempting sobriety, I have only made to a year a few times. I've never made it 13 months. I'm determined this time and have little holding me back.
It can be done Class of December 09.
I was advising some friends of mine on how I got there this time and I told them:
I got celibate, I stopped drinking, I went to therapy, I increased my fitness routine, I dropped negative people from my life, I took a break from some good to excellent friendships, and I stopped running from myself.
Change whatever you have been doing in the past in some way. Make some positive modification to your routine of not drinking.
I'm even thinking of going to AA Meetings.
I'm willing to do whatever it takes to find a way to live happily in this world without getting drunk or high.
