One Year Today :)

One year ago this was my Day 1.

Thank you to all the people who make SR possible (whoever funds it, the tech people, the Mods, the caretakers, the long-timers, the NEWCOMERS)

Thank you to my wonderful Marcher monthly thread. I hope everyone has a warm a home as I do.

Thank you to the Wisdom Carriers in the Codie & ACOA threads. The hurts we share can be healed. We didn't cause it, we can't control it, we can't change it. But we can be safe and happy.

My life has changed in so many ways, all for the better. One day at a time. Baby steps. Leaps of faith. Stumbling. Getting up. Trying again. Trying something different. Learning. Living.

I remember the THREE times I got my first year coin.....ALL in Different years, LOL.

I needed to write that only for me, because three separate times over the past fourteen years I had a year or more, and threw it away.

365 days (or as the case with this year, 366), days sober, is a very satisfying, magnificent achievement.

Thank you for sharing it, to remind a guy like me, yes, I can do it too, and for the true newcomer, that yes, it really is possible.
