17 months!!
Hi SR Friends!!
I'm so happy today! I never thought I could make it through a day much less 17 months. I'm so grateful to SR and all the wonderful, caring people here who have helped me along the way.
My life has changed so much...I've worked through most of my issues. It's been a learning process, to say the least. I found kindness and compassion here, something I needed without even realizing it.
So I wanted to share my big day with ALL the people here at SR who extended a hand, a kind word, encouragement, or just listened when I needed a friend.
When I lost My Mother, my very best friend,who I loved more than I can say...
I didn't know how to go on. I was broken. Had an awful long term marriage...suffered abuse no one should have to endure. Nearly drank myself to death. But.... you know what....I prevailed!!
My advice to Newcomers....you CAN absolutely have a better life. No matter your circumstance...have faith in yourself, lean on others when you need to, get into a recovery program of your choice and give to others....even when you don't want to. Helping others gives you a sense of fulfillment.
I wish you all a lovely sober/clean day!!
My Very Best Wishes !! :ghug3
