One Year Sober

it's been a tough road but the rewards are so, so worth it.

I fought and I struggled and I couldn't stay sober. I lost my job, my daughter wouldn't see me, then my marriage and my health went. I had to leave my family home. I still couldn't stop.

I am so lucky I didn't die during that last withdrawal. I'm lucky that sobriety started to stick. I stayed close to AA and SR during the first 6 months, and the support and friendship made such a difference.

my life is so much better today. if I can do this then so can you. it takes hard work but the results have been amazing.

please, if you're struggling then reach out.

thank you to everyone here - you keep me accountable on this new path of mine.

be well.
