12 month celebrations!

So I have decided to go away on a camping trip for my 12 months anniversary!

This will be on the 02nd October. Anyone any ideas for marking the day?

Nice! Congratulations!
Order some of those asian sky lanterns! Write messages on them and then send them into the night sky!
I saw them in Asian in my travels and its so beautiful

Congratulations...12 months is a wonderful thing, that is all 4 seasons...I have no idea how to make it special for you...perhaps a mani and pedi or something you have never done before, maybe something like a bridge climb...what sort of things do you like?

That is wonderful, congrats on a big milestone!
Would you be into any kind of forresty, personal ritual type of thing to revisit maybe next year? you could just make it up. What a wonderful way and place to celebrate your one year

Congratulations - many want to stop drinking but you've done it. Buy yourself something nice with all the money you've saved.

I brought myself a new car at 9 months. I will have a think, don't want to indulge for me but celebrate life! Like lanterns and the like!

Pickup a Rock!

...I know. Sounds strange but...It doesnt have to be a big rock. just find a smallish one...one you can set on a book shelf, your desk, whereever.

Get a bottle of nail polish. Paint your anniversary date on it...and where you picked it up.

Let it be a reminder to you...Your sobriety is rock solid ! Strive for another rock next year !

...and remember...

In early sobriety I was always grateful
to be sober another day as I continued
to live and incorporate steps and principles
in all areas of my daily life.

My sponsor presented me with some
wind chimes that I still have today some
25 yrs sober later hanging in my back
yard. They have been with me thru many
changes in my sober life and today I
continue to cherish them more so than
ever.

It is a constant reminder of where I
was many one days at a time ago in
my life.
