2 years today!! I have exactly two years sober today!!! It seems like so long ago since I relapsed and made a post on here about it and feeling so ashamed and just feeling hopeless. Now it’s two years later and by living one day at a time life is better than I ever could have imagined it being. I’ve been going to school at night and only have a year left on my degree, took a paid internship at a software company which might turn into a full time job soon, won a gold medal at a major jujitsu tournament over the weekend, picked out an engagement ring for my girlfriend, got to travel overseas this summer with her for the first time and see the world. There have been many problems and struggles these past two years as well, I lost my job, was bouncing for money and barely scrapping by but everything just got better because I just didn’t drink no matter what! Just waking up in the mornings and not feeling like crap both physically and emotionally is such a blessing. |

I'm really interested in how you have stayed sober for 2 years after having relapses before that. What is your routine... your "program" to stay clean/sober? Something changed for you, what was it? All the best. Bob R |

A huge congratulations to you, rws! :c011::a122: Wow.... sounds like you've done a lot with your two years - that's wonderful! |
Congrats! Two years is HUGE:) |
Rws, 2 years today!! You are FANTASTIC. Congratulations. :egypt: |
Congrats on two years! Awesome stuff. :) |
Congrats. I'm a chronic relapser with almost 2 months sober now. I am so wanting to get to that year. I've come close but no cigar. My last relapse was extremely painful, not so much physically, but mentally and spiritually. I do not want to experience that again. Nothing in sobriety will every reach that level of pain. I am committed now more than ever. Thanks and congrats again. |
Congratz on 2 years and many accomplishments during that time!! I had 2 years yesterday...2 years ago put myself in rehab--I needed guidance after trying to quit on my own twice before...got out of rehab facing jail time for my 3rd DUI...did the jail time, came out and kept going to AA meetings, steps with sponsor...was lucky to find a job as I was going to lose my home and still trudging forward in this journey...one day at a time. |
Wow, Big Congratulations rws!! I couldn't be happier for you. :) :You_Rock_ Best Wishes To You! |

Congratulations!! |

That's absolutely awesome...congrats!! |
