'Kinda' new here.
 
Kinda new because I've been reading here since the 20th of June...and I've been sober since then, too. Yay! 3 months, never thought I would say that one.

I don't have access to AA, here...so I'm working my own program, with a heavy helping hand from this site. I'm in it for life. No going back for this one!

I have learned so much from your postings...bear with me while I get to know the website....thanks!

Welcome to SR :)

And now.....one year later!

I told myself I would bring up my first post at a years sobriety. Just a little something I kept in the back of my mind...hey, whatever gets you there, right?!

I truly can not believe this. The peace that sobriety has brought me can NOT be bought, replaced or explained. My personal relationships have changed....hell, the relationship I have with myself has changed.

A HUGE part of my sobriety is due to SR. I get so much from reading other addicts situations. I can not explain it, in fact, I'm a little emotional right now, even thinking about it.

So, thank you, SR. I could not have made it this far without you guys. I intend to keep on, keepin' on. :)

Almost forgot...........WHOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOO! ONE YEAR FOR COFFEENUT! :)

Love and Hugs to you :c033:

Thanks, Pelican! You know, I'm serious when I say it is people like you (that are just like me....only I didn't know it at the time) that have REALLY helped me. Your willingness to open up those raw wounds and share....got me through....and continue to get me through.

Your year must be coming up quickly, too? I hope all is going well with you. I think of you often and know you are strongly moving forward.

Hey coffeenut,

I read the first post, but didn't notice the date, so when I read that you were three months sober, I thought, well, this one's off their rocker, how can you have three months when you just joined, with the same sobriety date, lol. Glad I kept reading, lol.

Congrats and thanks for all your help, it's people like you that keep me coming back!!

Pelican 06-20-2009 08:51 AM

Thanks friend!

I have 10 months this weekend. I just caught myself doing what I seem to do for myself on my anniversary date: shopping for Niiiiicccce shoes! Look out closet, mommies on e-bay.

My feet are thankful, my body is thankful, my mind is thrilled. Sobriety rocks!

"Relax and Rejoice
and all things will come to you."
