Hi! I can tell you from my experience, that at 1 1/2 years, I got complacent. I got rid of my sponsor, slowed on meetings, 12 stepping people, sponsoring, etc. I thought I had it down...that I was secure in my sobriety, and also thought my bf's sobriety of 9 years I could borrow. Life was ok for a while but about a year later, depression, shame, guilt, little thoughts of using popped into my head. I knew I was headed down a road of relapse.....so I prayed and prayed. Woke up one morning and knew the right thing to do...not just for me, but for my children, my new employer, parents, friends and family. I can't do this on my own, and now know...I don't want to! Goodluck and keep going - don't give up!
