1 year, 3 months and 7 days or 127.1 percent of a year sober hehe 
Blimey, not entirely sure how that was achieved but the changes are amazing. I hope you don't mind me popping by but I suspect staying sober is no longer my top priority and I need to put it back up there. I don't wan't thoughts and ideas to become decisions and actions - that would be just miserable.
It's great to see lots of people I knew from before on here doing well ... And lots of people I didn't know. I can't read much at the moment to see who's around but Hi Grace and LSC from the Augustinians 2012! Hi Dee and Hi everyone! Hope I can get back here soon. Stay tough everuone and thank you for being around xxx

Hi Overs
It's way past Midnight and I should be in bed, but I need to do some catching up.
Thanks for clarifying re Thanksgiving Dee, I'm such a thicko at times, lol.
That was a good Friday feeling then Instant. Sounds like you had a good day yesterday too.
LSC that new day is here and I have no doubts that you got through the night. Two months holiday, how fantastic, lucky you, I'm very envious. Monday will be here before you know it.
Glad you enjoyed turkey day F.B.L
Apple what a lovely surprise to see you here, I was wondering where you'd gone. You're sounding good.
Hey LSC and Apple our Steve from our August class has one year in a few days time and then he'll be joining us here too.
LSC, I'm so pleased to hear you had a great day.
Goodnight Overs I must get myself to bed.
Lots of love
Grace xx

Hello all!
I want to introduce myself to the shenanigans. The way I figure, I've been alive for 14,525 days and sober for the last 498+/-. Given the pre and post-substance abuse numbers I still have been sick longer than I have been well but being well is the most beautiful gift I could have ever given myself and I am unabashedly proud.
I hope to see you all around.

Hi Everybody,
Yeah, Levelingup thank you for sharing. I also [U]know[U]that how I'm living my life today, IS the greatest gift. I had the second best Thanksgiving in my life, so far. Last year in Rehab...like the commercial says.."priceless".
Most grateful am I. Bobbi

Good morning dear Overs and happy Sunday to you all.
8 a.m here and I'm just enjoying a peaceful cup of tea while the boys in the house sleep on, the lazy lot! It's good to be up and about early with no hangover, can't beat it, it's a good feeling.
Hi Bobbi, 2 good Thanksgivings with happy memories for you, things can only get better.
Hi Instant, did you mean a year?? Lol.
Well we had Skype all set up and ready for our boy's mummy to chat to him last night as arranged by her, but she didn't phone for the second week running!!
I may go and do some Christmas shopping today, scary!
Have a good Sunday everyone
Stay safe and sober
Grace xx
*******
Just for today, I will exercise my soul in three
ways: I will do somebody a good turn, and
not get found out. I will do at least two
things I don't want to--just for exercise.
I will not show anyone that my feelings are
hurt; they may be hurt, but today I will not
show it

However
I did cry when I got to six months, I still choke up when I think about it- getting to a year was a different experience but it was very humbling in the sense that the chance I have been given is not guaranteed for life

Hello to all!
Having just had my second sober Thanksgiving I am now looking forward to my second sober Christmas. Although these may not be celebrated occasions for the reader one can still understand the weight of the landmarks. Truly the most satisfying aspect of the sober holiday experience is the knowledge that I am not only physically present (which was the most I ever was, if that, in previous years) but mentally and emotionally present as well. I am happy to participate in the social settings, function with a clear head and happy to be with people that want me there. Such is the way now that I am no longer hiding from loved ones or hiding from myself.
Also being into this sober life by a little over a year and a half I am overwhelmed with motivation to do a number of things I previously had no courage to do. The lack of focus is at times maddening (in as good a way as that can be) with moving in multiple directions; starting a blog, creating a landing page/personal website, creating a small business website and as you can imagine, a small side business, motivating an eleven year old that wants nothing more than to play video games to do some if not most of those with me... It's all good stuff and are issues I would rather have compared to my former lifestyle.
Thank goodness for sobriety.
