Sunday

I will be 2 years sober. TWO YEARS!!!!!!!

Most of you know my story. Daily drinker/drunk for 30 years.

Sometimes....it's just hard to comprehend that I do have the gift of sobriety. I remember when I quit.....thinking, if I can just make it to a month...then a half year....then a year.

And now. I feel great. I still read a LOT about alcoholism. I think I always will. My hope is that I will never become complacent in my sobriety. Never take it for granted.

Newbies....you CAN do this. There is relief....and it can start with SR.

Thanks to you....my SR family.

Coffeenut, our stories are very similar. I'm so happy for you, making it to 2 yrs. I felt the same when I reached that milestone a few months ago. I never really expected to make it this far, just knew I had to save myself from an early death.

You are right - if people like us can make it after a lifetime of abusing, then there is hope for anyone. I'm so glad there's still plenty of life left for us to enjoy. Thanks for your inspiring and helpful posts.

Congrats. That is great. I too read about and do research on this disease - almost like I want to figure it out and fix it.
