Talking 7 Years and counting

Hello to all. I forgot back in June to post this. I passed my 7 year mark on June 15th of this year. I'm proud of myself and all of the things that I've changed in my life over the last 7 years. I'm glad to report that I am still going strong and can say that I have no desire in the world to ever use a substance again. What keeps me motivated? My son, my well being, my career(substance abuse counselor) and I guess just knowing that I'm in such a better place now.

I feel very grateful for where I am today. There are so many still struggling out there. Be kind to yourself and others...and remember, one day at a time.

Great post! Thanks for sharing your story, your wisdom and your encouragement. And seven years is fantastic. I look forwards to the day I can say I’ve been sober that long myself.
