It feels good, a whole year. Sober living just feels normal now, and life is better.
I've got more money, my family life is better and I have peace in my life.

Tell us a story on how you did it. How did you ignore the triggers, stick to your plan, your supporters etc.
Good for you,
friend.

Yes it is!!! Thanks Gilmer!!! Big plans today. Hubby surprised me with a new stand up paddle board, so we're headed out now. Then breakfast by the water, then dinner at one of our favorite places in downtown LA. I'll check in later

Oh sazzle make today your new start. You can do this, one day at a time!
Rick h asked me to share and if it helps you sazzle then that's great.
I came here a while back sick and tired of being broke, hungover and not emotionally present for my family. I went seven weeks and then convinced myself I could moderate. Huge mistake which ended in the mother of all hangovers after a horrendous black out. I joined the November group broken and not entirely convinced I had to give up completely. Days turned into weeks and then months and I started to realise I was happier than I'd been in a long time. I had energy and I slept properly at night. I was no longer continually broke or in arrears with bills due to spending all my money on wine. My marriage grew stronger, my relationships in general improved. I am in control and I feel strong. I no longer miss the buzz I prefer the peace. The quiet moments where I think about how lucky I am.
In this time I have watched my cousin and her husband who are both alcoholics sink further down their drink sodden hole. House a disgusting mess, grown up children who can't be bothered to visit anymore and the lies they tell themselves to justify their drinking serve as a stark reminder of what I was on the road too.
Misery is found at the bottom of a wine glass for me, happiness is inside.
Join the new November thread sazzle, you won't look back! I have sober friends for life in here.
Rooting for you x

Siesta you are fabulous. So happy for you. One year of many more to come living the good life. Without the added hardship created by the booze, anything is possible.
Congrats to you dear. Well done.
Rick
