Chloe, congrats on one year and two months! It can be a challenge keeping the streak rolling this time of year. I remember my first year sober as mainly letting my body and my brain trying to heal from poisoning it daily for decades. In my second year, I started to read lots of books on addiction, trying to understand how I could possibly let myself go along this path for so long. Also, I had to learn how to deal with my emotions as an adult, instead of drinking feelings away. I read that emotional development stops when heavy drinking begins, so that made me a fifty something teenager. Ugh!

Expecting a snow and ice storm tomorrow, so I will try to get some things done today. Keep warm and have a good day everyone!
