One Year On

Hey all, just a quick log in to say that I'm celebrating one whole year of sobriety today. 365 days of sobriety.

My life has changed in ways I couldn't have possibly foreseen. I don't know what I was so scared of when I set off on this journey, because I now know who I am..and I like it.

For all of you struggling with the concept and life change that is sobriety, please, keep trying. It's so worth it, I promise.

Love and blessings to you all.

Thank you all! And I'm going to celebrate by doing this tomorrow:

Survivor Mud Run on Vimeo

because I've discovered that life's adventures and rewards cannot be found at the bottom of a wine bottle...

If I can do it - so can you.

SO proud of you newwings. I wish I hadn't been so afraid, too - we didn't lose anything, the way we thought we were.
