One year sober.. we did it!
Thank you everybody for all of your help. I’ve been on here for more than 5 years and finally got a year. On SR every day. I feel like I know some of you and I’m so thankful. It has been an incredibly hard, wonderful year. Feel so peaceful in the midst of the aftermath of chaos I created. It’s because I’ve learned to be alone without being lonely, to be a 59 year old grown up, and to reflect on my own behavior. AA has also been a great help. For anyone that is struggling. Just make up your mind.. go to a meeting and begin to really live
