Congratulations to you, Zee, and well done on your one year sober. If I am not mistaken, you are sober without really espousing any program or method at all, so this makes you a trailblazer in some ways I think. Care to share any wisdom from your experience?

Thanks for your kind words everyone... I have been blowing a large trumpet all day 
(((Neferkamicheal))) You have no idea what is means to me to see that green word from you!!! x
(((Freshstart))) No, I don't use any programme... I use SR! I'll just quote what I wrote on another thread earlier today, it kind of explains what I do

I am very very very fickle. I don't think I could 100% stick to ANY recovery method. I just take bits and pieces of information from everywhere which I find help me. I am definately not religious nor am I spiritual (I should have had an epiphany last year when I was very ill, but I didn't... when I was lying in hospital, I cried once... that was because I missed my dog... a CHIHUAHUA!!! )... All I knew then, and all I know now, is that I cannot drink. There, decision made, easy! Keeping up sobriety is harder, because, as you know... its sociably acceptable... and everyone does it. This is where I dabble in different recovery methods... all of them make sense in their own way. I just don't take a particular one as my chosen path. I find that knowledge is the key. Get knowledge, it is very powerful. Being here on SR is fantastic for me because I get to read about everything. The one thing I know is that I have to stick to sobriety 100% whichever way I can...
