I have so much to say but I'm so exhausted from reflecting all day. Lol! It is truly the single greatest accomplishment of my entire life. For anyone who is new and thinking they can never do it, have faith in yourself

I stayed sober one day at a time. And it works if you work for it!

I love you guys. This community has played a large role in my getting sober. And I will continue to stick around and help others!

Congratulations! Your best years lie ahead of you ... one day at a time.

If there is just one thing I can say that keeps the struggling newcomer here, please do not give up. I wanted to die a year ago today....and today I want to live! and Live fully and free! And thanks to this community, and a program of recovery, I have been able to achieve that life.
