Just wanted to add my congratulations on your year sober - way to go! I agree with what Impurrfect said about milestones. I was all pumped to reach that one year mark and after that, I had a bit of a down time. Up to that point, it was all about staying sober and now I was starting to look at all the other things that I wanted to fix (in me), and it seemed hard all over again.

I had to make peace with myself. I wanted to change everything and change it NOW, but that resulted in just beating myself up. If I work instead on accepting myself, I'm so much more positive and open to life - it makes it easier to learn new ways of looking at things. Hope that makes sense!
