One Year
One year ago today, I woke up on Sunday morning and swore I would never drink again! How many times had I made that promise to myself? Hundreds?? thousands of times? only to break that promise within a few hours time. I really don’t know what made this time different, but I do know that I am really glad that I finally did it… and I made it to a year! I’ve made it through a Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, St. Patty’s Day, Halloween, Birthdays, etc. (man, did I have a lot of excuses to drink ) I’m looking forward to doing it again. Thanks to all of you on SR for your support.

Take Care,

BBR

Fantastic stuff, BBR. Yes, it takes a lot of will power to get thru all the "good times" when we want to celebrate with a drink. Or two or 10 or 20. Been there and back. I know it's not going to be easy for me this year, missing family and friends. But with the help of my NA support group, and my "long distance friends" here at SR, I'll make it. We'll make it. One year? Fantastic!

Congratulations on one year of sobriety - what a milestone.
And thanks for showing us newbies that there's no need to postpone our sobriety into the new year.
