Dear SR,
I'm happy to report today marks 1 year of continous sobriety for me.
What a journey it has been!
It took me almost of a year of intense (re)searching, trial and error, before I finally found my path to recovery, which today is an intense 12 step work in AA, steadily supported by a whole spectrum of smaller, ongoing projects: sports, nutrition, self care, psychotherapy, DBT, socializing with wonderful, like minded people, expanding my interest in spirituality and of course the place where it all started for me - SR.
Recovery is definitely in the centre of my life, but my life does not revolve around recovery - I have a fullfilling career and family life that I never dreamt possible - all thanks to my sobriety and my program.
I wish I could find the right words to transmit how infinitely better my life has become.
All I will say is - never, ever give up. If I can do it - so can you.
There is hope and there is redemption.
If you are a still sufferring alcoholic I pray for you every single day and if our paths ever cross, I'd be honored to share my Experience, Strength and Hope, as I'm a firm believer that it all starts with one alcoholic talking to another.
Thank you for being here 24/7. Thank you for my sobriety.
Love to you all
Anna - Happy, Joyous, Free
