Three years.... WOO HOO!!!!!
Yep, it is official, three years sober today. Time has flown by, I can barely believe it's been three years.
I have to say that my life has become quite amazing. I know I have not been on here for a while, been very busy with work and school and life in general. See my friend Pancake on Facebook regularly, so not really THAT out of the loop.
For all of you starting out on this journey, I want to tell you that it does INDEED GET BETTER!!!! Stay the course, stay faithful and hopeful and never give up on yourself. The more you go through and get through will make you stronger, and I know if I can do this so can the rest of you.
If you could have only seen me three years ago, entering rehab, and completely wasted, hopeless, desperate and I honestly didn't want to live, didn't know how I was going to get my life back. I was bad, what a sad girl I was. I did have hope though, and I watched and listened to the ones that had stayed sober successfully, got my supports, joined this site and was here regularly, love SR!!!! Also, grabbed a great sponsor and worked the 12 steps even believing they were nothing but a bunch of hooey......it helped.
Anyway, wanted to share. Very happy, so glad for myself that I did the work. And had someone shown me three years ago where I would be today, I would have fallen over in shock. Life is good today.
My best to all of you, don't ever give up on yourselves.

Thanks, Veg! Awesome work and congrats on 3 years! You're an inspiration to all those who don't know how they're supposed to live a life without being a slave to their addiction. It does get better. Glad you checked in!

Hi VB, Awesome achievement on 3 years!!!
Thanks for posting and you were a massive support and inspiration to me when I was just starting out on this journey of sobriety and recovery!!! You still are!!!
I always remember your quote of "be your own biggest cheerleader". I try to do that on a daily basis.
