51 Weeks Sober

Hello, folks. I haven't posted on here in quite some time, but I've been reading the forum this morning and I figured I'd chime in. My last drink was January 20 of last year. Next Tuesday I will have a year sober. The milestone has been bringing back a flood of emotions as I remember the way I felt at this time last year.
All you newcomers hang in there. The days add up and it absolutely does get easier.

Gonna pick up a chip next week?

We learn when we're new in AA that we are getting a chip at meeting level not for ourselves, but to demonstrate ...

1 To the new people that its possible to stay sober a little while

2 For your peers that may have gotten sober with you

3 For the old timers that are amazed we are still here!

"The days add up and it absolutely does get easier"

Thank you. I'm on day 12 and this is the stuff that keeps me going! I have a deep yearning to be where you are (as I'm sure many of us do).
