9 months sober

Today I celebrate 9 months sober. I happen to be going through the hardest thing i have ever had to do in my life. Those of you who know me well, know what it is. The beautiful thing is, I do not have any desire to pick up a drink.

Just wanted to share.

You should feel incredibly proud of yourself, especially now to have reached such a milestone, and I for one will continue to applaud you all the way.

Keep it hun, I'm cheering for you.

Congratulations on the 9 months!!!! I've been through some really rough stuff in recovery, but knowing I've not given in and just took the easy way out (using) I've gotten a bit stronger, and my recovery has continued to grow.

Hugs and prayers,

Amy

Agree, Carol. I prayer not on daily basis at the moment, but on an hourly basis if not every minute of the day. It is amazing when you see the hand of God working.
