30 days sober today! I made it my first month!

First and fore most I must say thank you to this website, and to everyone here who makes it possiable!

Not so in a distant past, like 31 days ago, I would have never thought that on May 25th, 2011 I would be saying I am 30 days sober. It feels fantasic! If there is anything I can be proud about myself this year, this is surely it.

30 says sober!!! Wooohooowwwww!!!

The kind words, and constant motivation on this website is great. Sometimes I think if it wasnt for this place, I might not be sober 30 days. So AGAIN thank you SR and all the great people here. Each and every one of you have helped me acomplish this.

I'd also like to thank..

Big reggie - I know your out there!
Small pete - Yeah pete whats up buddy!!!
Jewels - You made me laugh that one time! Yeah you remember!!!
Sammy the Flake - You told me this was possiable!!!

Id also like to thank.... Squeaky Willi.........

(Music starts to play)

Ok Im kidding all those names are made up hahahaha.

But in all fairness, it would be wrong of me to name individuals directly, because it was the collective of everyone here that helped me on this journey. Even if we never spoke directly, your posts helped!

And to all you guys that are just in your first week or so, I speak this from my heart that it feels SO much better being sober. Mentally, physically, and emotionally.

-Ryan

Ryan, Friend, I am proud of you.

Please keep posting...I just know you're helping others at least as much as yourself.

Did you notice your 1-month announcement was also your 100th post?

Congrats!
Reading about how well you & other's are doing on a daily basis is not only a huge motivation, but it also gives me a sense of foresight as to what a month sober could be like for me.
