90 Days Sober ~ A Miracle

Time and time again I tried to get sober; made a million plans. Had it all worked out, and nothing happened. Nothing good, anyway.

I drank more, I became more desperate, lonely and miserable. I wanted out. There was nothing left for me, and all I could do was find someone to love my cat.

And then I came here. February 4th. And that day changed my life.

Every day since, SR has been a major part of my life, and in actual fact, SR saved my life. Everyone here who posts and chats and reaches out to each other ~ I thank you.

I am so incredibly grateful to be 90 days sober today. I have a life now; I have love and friendship and hope.

Sending all of you love and hugs,

Venus xx

You're part of our lives too, venuscat - we're so glad you're here. We know how hard you've worked for this - and you're going to keep feeling better as you continue to heal. Nothing can stop you now.

Hey Venus, good for you! Well done! We've just met over in Games and now I read this about you -- you are inspiring me as I'm about a month behind you.

Thank you everyone!!

....Just, if anyone reading this today is on day one, and wondering if this is possible, wondering if it ever really gets better.... it is, and it does.
One day at a time. Just keep going....

Love V xx
