That is fantastic!!! Congratulations to both of you!
I just celebrated a year clean, but I didn't do anything special...had to work.
I don't have any ideas, but I'm sure someone will come along with them. For me, just having my friends/family acknowledge my one year "birthday" was great.
Hugs and prayers!

one yr. is good. i am glad he made it. i would not celebrate elaborate for the 1st year clean. get him a cake & put one candle on it. cook his favorite meal but keep it simple. as he grows his celebration should grow with it. this is only my thoughts alone. prayers,

My daughter just celebrated 2 years. She works an NA program so she invited us to celebrate with her at a meeting (she spoke) Various friends brought flowers, congratulation balloons, cards with a special messages...they had a cake afterwards with 2 candles and bunch of us, including her sponsor went out to eat. It was simple but a most incredibly joyful night

A simple observance.....filled with gratitude and serenity
remember even after one year, two years or multiple years...it remains one day at a time
I always feel emotional at a meeting when they call for a show of hands...."who has today?"
congratulations to your husband....may his recovery continue to grow (and show)

Celebrating a year congratulations to u both.... thats fantastic! my thoughts are to a reward in way of celebration... you can think of something meaninful in way of 'thanks' even if its not nessesary the benfits of his sobriety extend to you which as loving supportive partner you are grateful for... my partner n i have addiction probs... if he seen a yr of being clean thru n our relationship benefited from this achievement i'd spoil us both. a wkend away a nice meal out of something wholistic to provide more healing in relationship and recovery.... does anyone get what i'm trying to say? all the best mkchic. thanx for the thread.
