Congratulations on almost a year of sobriety cheebiechi,
I'm just now starting to feel confident that I have put my drinking days behind me. My one year will not happen until March.
I was fortunate enough to get, and remain sober, after over 43 years of failed attempts to quit.
I think whatever you do is OK, as long as you don't drink.
For me reading stories like yours on SR gives me strength to keep me sober. All your friends on SR are your sponsors.
