Well today is officially a year and although not all things have worked out as hoped for I have the ability now to choose how I respond to the hard times rather than just instinctively reacting or self destructing. My accomplishments this year may not be externally impressive, but internally they're significant. It hasn't been so much about eliminating suffering, but learning to relinquish my resistance to it. It's been about healing and finding my authentic self.
My goals for my second year are basically to expand outside of my comfort zone.. in my social life, career, personal interests, all of it.
So it's nothing lengthy but just wanted to say I'm sincerely thankful for everyone on this forum.. I've learned a lot and will continue learning.

That's an amazing accomplishment. As true as your statement is on suffering, the longer you stay sober, that suffering becomes life changing growth to become what you always intended to be.
Welcome to year 2, badass.

Congratulations, cosima!
I echo your sentiments. I'm only just now waking up to myself. It's quite an eye opener (tear jerker, too).
Now we can begin figuring out what went haywire and how to start blazing a different path, one baby step at a time.
