My Annual Thread

I don't start threads much.
But, I do make an effort once a year.
I was drinking when I came to Sober Recovery.
Today, 10/22/14,
I am sober for 4 years.
I know it's one day at a time, but,
It is easier to do the days all in a row!!!
I haven't had a hangover for 4 years.

Please do this.
You are worth the effort.
Hang in there.
Anne

It's 2:30am.
I hate to post and run.
I am going to bed.
SOBER.
Absolute gratitude to you all.
How did I do it?
Admitted I have a problem.
Asked for help.
Listened to others.
AA.
H.A.L.T.
Made mistakes.
Changed things that didn't work for me.
Try to be a good person.
Acceptance.
Self-care.
Changed fearless nature to do good/smart things rather than dumb things.
There's more.
Feel free to add your own.
