I did it todays my one year!!! :)

I can't believe I actually made it a year. I remember saying I would never make it this far, and here I am. I'll be celebrating July 8 at my home group. I'm full of emotions and nerves today, anticipating the day. Wanting the day to come and go just like another day.
I'm getting "Just Be" on my medallion and I'm dedicating it to my mom, who originally gave me a pin that said "Just Be" on it when I was younger.
Every time I felt down I would look at that pin and it always made me feel better. To just be in the moment. That's what I've been doing in the last year is just being....being myself the best I can..trying to find myself again slowly. Along with working through everyday issues and trying to grow into a better person so I can pass down the message.
It dose work and you can heal, it takes time but it works!
If I knew what I know now I would have started a long time ago, but I'm done with beating myself over that. I wasn't ready. Now I'm ready to live life to the fullest Lol
If I can do it you can too
I wish the best to all of you.

Way to go! I'm six months behind you, but working on sobriety every day. You have just given me new hope.

Best wishes to you, too!
