Just fyi and IMO if you are working a program of recovery, e.g. NA, AA...whatever it is unlikely that you are going to post saying you have 'made it' and not drunk/used on xmas day...so there are a load more people on SR that have 'made it' but won't have posted about it...some have 'made it' one day at a time for years, maybe worth checking out how they do it:-) Also anyone in active addiction regardless of time without a drink/drug will be the same person they were when they were drinking/using so expect some lies lol Go for it and get sober!
