1 year sober today :-)
Hi everyone,
It's been a long time since I have posted here, but I had to come back today for my 1 year sobriety date :-)
Thank you Carol and all the others who were so encouraging and supportive those first few months as I learned to "do without". It seems that it really did take a good six months for the brain's reprogramming to be felt.
For perspective, if anyone is interested, here is the link to my very first post last April.

Serenity? I guess so. Not that it is anything mystical. Just re-learning to accept life on it's terms without seeking escape. And honestly, my life is not difficult for me right now (I just retired), so that helps a lot! Still, every once in awhile a stressful event will come along which will make me wish I at least had a Zanax in the house. But nevermind. Chamomile tea is my friend :-)
May God bless and enable you all on your journeys.

Hope you visit more often, we appreciate the experience.
It was great to read over your old post and jump back here. It would be nice for you to share how you got a year. A little hope for the newcomer that may read here.
