1 year sober today...

A brief summary...

But first I'd like to start with saying a happy new year and a massive thank you to each and everyone one of you on here at SR for the help and support over the past year, every post or comment big or small helped me get through some hard times and equally helped me not get carried away at the same time. You're all amazing , so thank you.

Now onto my year, no words can describe it but ,ups and downs, twist and turns , laughter and a few tears along the way but it's without doubt the proudest moment of my life so far. Not for any other reason than I personally didn't think I would ever be able to achieve 1 year sober . And that's something that money can't buy you or have gifted to you by someone else , it's all on you and only you can decide whether you succeed or fail and I'm bloody grateful I've gotten myself this far...

Who knows what this new year has Instore all I know is that I'm determined to make it another sober one !!!

Thanks again ,

James
