6 years!
 
I logged in today, I don't as often as I used to- and thought, "wow, it's probably getting close to my anniversary date!" and it is, today :)

6 years ago (and some change) I found SR, in a very desperate and scary place. I stumbled, I came back and eventually quit for good.

(the long version of my story is here: http://www.soberrecovery.com/forums/...-my-story.html)

My life is nothing like my old life, there's nothing that is the same. I had to make huge scary changes, and I'll say it was well worth it :)

My marriage is rock solid, I have a now 5 year old little crazy person who calls me mommy, my job is secure, our finances are stable, my insides are pretty good too- my confidence, emotional stability, and general sense of contentment have skyrocketed over the past 6 years.

Thank you for being there for me, good times and bad.

We do recover! I would never have imagined it 6 years ago.
