Oh my goodness
I never ever, ever, ever thought I would have a thread like this!!!
I have one year today.
A whole year without an alcoholic drink.
Yes me!!
With the exception of the birth of my baby daughter, this is one of the most amazing achievements that has ever happened to me.
I never joined a 'class of' thread because to be honest I had no confidence in myself that I would make a year. I didn't want to let anyone down, and I expected to let people own.
I really believe that all area's of my life have got better and better. I am finally starting to feel like a strong, confident woman rather than a quivering, anxious mess who was full of regret, dishonesty and self loathing.
Believe me, life is not perfect. But I laugh a lot more now. And thats a nice feeling. I truly believe that a drink makes no problem or sadness better or easier to deal with. For me it makes everything worse.
I want to say to you all that you have inspired me. You have all encouraged me. You have given me sound advice when I needed it. You have all cared. You have kept me company when I was lonely. You have wiped away tears when there was no-one else who understood.
You are all very, very special to me and I hold you all close in my heart.
Thank you
Sasha

Congratulations!
Way to go Sasha! YOU inspire me to continue with sobriety and I look forward to making it it to 1 year sober.
I could not agree with you more about the good people here on SR as I also never could have made it this far without them!

Sasha, you are one of those special people to me, someone who knows just what to say and when to say it.
Your words have been such a comfort and inspiration to me at times when I've struggled.
I'm so pleased for you that you've reached this milestone. You really deserve it.
Thank you xxx
