You are a wonderful miracle dear kent....as in watching you make your life the place you wanted it to be has been just incredible.
So so happy for you.

I hope your daughter has a great first day and I hope the literary agent loves your novel!
Sending love and hugs. s xx ❤️
Thank you darling Suze, your message made me cry. I hope you are feeling ok about your mum's anniversary. I don't come to this thread so often anymore. A few weeks ago, I was made to feel foolish for being happy. It hurt me a lot but I stayed with the feelings. I'm not going to apologise for who I am. And I'm never going to change who I am. I've worked too darn hard to get to this place of happy. And it's sobriety that got me here... sobriety has enabled me to start building the life I always wanted. I want newcomers to know that sobriety is worth every ounce of effort, every craving, every broken night's sleep, every tear, every lost drinking buddy, everything. Sobriety is worth everything. We work hard for our sobriety. We're allowed to be happy. Love you Suze xxx

I've got behind with the thread but as always, I wish you loads of love and healing energy Nic xxx

Anthony Hopkins is a hero of mine....he is 40+ years sober and has a knighthood.
Maybe when I am a few more years sober I will be able to "expect nothing and accept everything".

Maybe. I doubt it. That seems a touch out of my reach.
So I hope you all don't mind the added Oprah quote. s

EDIT.....you are wonderful dear Leigh!!!! xxxxx ❤️

Good morning everyone. I'm in a really good mood this morning. Although my legs are a bit sore I feel great physically and mentally. Plus, today is 30 days alcohol free. I had one slip up a month ago and that was after a 16 day stretch. So really I'm 46/47 days alcohol free. I've had very few cravings, although alcohol is still a common thought that I have daily. Not that I want to drink it, just aware of it and aware of what I'm working on. Someday I hope that I have enough sobriety that it becomes a very small and insignificant part of my thinking. Either way, I'm excited to have my 30 day celebration with my family tonight. Maybe we'll go out to dinner or I'll grab an ice cream cake. My kids were involved this time around and we actually wrote these milestones on the calendar. I don't think they looked at it this morning so hoping it's a bit of a pleasant surprise.

Have a great day. In for 24.
