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
Brilliant post, kenton. I am so happy for you!!!!

One year is huge, dear kenton!
