Congratulations on one year Kenton!! I am so excited for you to hit this huge milestone, I hope you had your balloons and cupcakes. I'm not sure how you felt today, but I know that one year was very emotional for me. I felt this incredible sense of accomplishment, and happy emotions.
Thank you for making the 24 hour thread an even better place through your supportive comments.
Onward to year two!!
❤️Delilah

I feel like I can do anything. I feel like I could walk out my front door and go climb a mountain with no ropes or anything. I'm not going to do that. That would be crazy. I'd die for sure. And there's no mountains in London anyway. But the point is, I never thought I'd stay sober for a year and by doing something I never thought I'd do, for the first time in my life I'm really starting to believe in myself. Anything seems possible.
It feels amazing knowing that I beat my AV every day for a year. I've shown my AV that I'm the boss of me, I call the shots and I'm so much stronger than I thought I was. That doesn't mean my AV has gone away. It will be with me forever, lurking around, waiting for me to get too complacent. I know that no matter how hard I work rebuilding my life, if I start drinking again, it will all come crashing down fast. But you know what? I don't mind having my AV following me around through this life like a bad tempered shadow. Having my AV means I get to check in here every day with you lovely lot. If I didn't have my AV, I wouldn't know any of you. And meeting you guys has been the very best part of this last year.
I wish my year of sobriety had given me actual superpowers so I could fly round the world today and congratulate all my fellow milestoners in person (11 months Canadian Koala!!!) and say thank you to each and every one of you. Sadly, I don't seem to be able to fly. Maybe that happens after 2 years? I don't know, I'll have to wait and see. But please know that I can't begin to thank each of you enough. What happens here is a team effort. We celebrate each other's successes and support each other when we're down. It's a beautiful thing to be part of and I wouldn't have got my year and be feeling like this today if it wasn't for all of you. Thank you. I owe you all so much. Thank you.
And Pebbles.... I'm loving the avatar
Love you all so much. 24 more hours for me please xxx

Congratulations Sunflowerlife on 6 fantastic months!! Hope you have a great day and celebrate in style... totally awesome xxx
I hate to bore you all with stories about my dog but I can't quite believe what just happened. No one else in this house is awake yet and I need to share.... The other day I got chocolate coins to use as incentives/rewards/bribes when the kids are doing their homework. For obvious reasons, I put the chocolate up high, right on top of the fridge. Just now, straight after finishing his breakfast in under 2 seconds flat, my dog jumped onto the kitchen table and then took a massive leap towards the top of the fridge before gravity got involved and he fell towards the floor.
I just can't understand how on earth he thought this manoeuvre was going to be successful. First of all, he's not a cat. He's a massive, clumsy Labrador with dodgy hips. This 'mission impossible' type stuff was never going to work out well for him. Secondly, I was standing right there!! How did he think he was going to get away with it?? He's lying on his mat now, looking very dignified and serious. We're both pretending it didn't happen. I think that's for the best.
Sooo happy it's Friday!! 24 more hours for me please xxxx

Have a ct scan later. They’re going to inject some dye into me and I really really don’t want that to happen!!!!! Funny given the amount of vodka that used to flow in my veins

Good luck Weev! I have that dye thing done when I go to the eye hospital to get my dodgy retinas looked at. It's not that bad. It tinges my skin an odd colour for a little while and what with that and the enormous, dilated pupils in my eyes, I feel like a bit of an alien for the rest of the day but yep, it's miles better than vodka! Good luck xxxx
