hi and welcome sky

I understand not wanting to tell anyone, but wouldn't it be worse when people start to congratulate you on your year and you know that thats a lie?

My advice is clear the decks, clean slate...and then look at how you've been stayiong sober.

Make a plan.

Think about the kind of things that lead you back to drink...if it's stress, even when it's valid stress, maybe thats an area you can work on and find other positive ways to deal with the problem.

There's no reason why you can turn these stretches of sobriety into a permanent lifestyle change
