Hello all. In less than 30 days I am going to have a year sober, and it's kinda freaking me out, but in a good way. This has been one of the most emotionally difficult, trying years of my life. I went through the dissolution of a relationship, reconnecting and breaking it off again, a serious depression, several moves and a lot of life change. But throughout all of it I have not resorted to drinking. I have been feeling down lately but when I remind myself of where I was last year when I was in the throws of addiction trying to quit, I realize how far I have actually come. No matter how depressed I get now, or whatever, it's not as bad as the devastation of realizing you have wrecked your life and craving alcohol at the same time. Anyways, just wanted to share... I guess the nervous approaching this milestone is probably normal....

I think a certain amount of nervousness is normal, Daisy...but just remember: you know what to do...just keep doing what you have been doing

Congratulations on your upcoming year

Congrats on your approaching sober year! I too feel relieved and happy that I do'nt have to drink anymore. I can deal with life stone-cold-sober and do a lot better job than if I was still drinking.

Keep on putting one sober foot in front of the other. You'll be ok, I'm sure. Congrats again! :ghug3

thank you. i can't believe it really. This year has been so hard- breakup (s), job stress, moving, depression, anxiety, etc. But, I am triumphing thru it all and it feels pretty good. Thanks for listening!!!

Way to go, daisy!! You should be very pleased with yourself for getting through everything sober - that's really awesome! Just remember to stay in "one day at a time" mode - it makes things more manageable, I think.

I hope your second year sober is filled with new, positive things coming into your life!
