Nothing tonight but gratitude for the four years I've remained sober. It's the kind of gratitude that'll bring you to your knees.

I'll never, ever take it for granted.

I have no flowery words or magic pill that worked for me. Bottom line is that I got out of my own head & put one foot in front of the other...24 hours at a time. Next thing I know, I have 34,944 hours of precious freedom.

I'll never, ever take it for granted.

This was my theme song in those beginning days 4 years ago. It gave me hope & spurred me on. Now I share with each & every one of you little conquerors.

Wishing every, single one of you love, light & hope.

Congratulations, Hearts, my anniversary twin!

It just feels so much better now.

I think of you often, and am always reminded of your great line that ends "So I straightened my crown and walked away like a boss." I always took great inspiration from that and to this day picture you in a crown!

Wow, Congratulations HeartsAfire on your 4 amazing years!!! Thank you for the inspiration and for leading the way.
Love your signature line!! '"After a while I looked in the mirror and realized...WOW. After all those hurts, scars and bruises, after all of those trials, I really made it through. I did it. I survived that which was supposed to kill me. So I straightened my crown...and walked away like a boss."
