Congratulations! I totally agree, no one can know the many differences sobriety makes in our life except others on the same journey. Thanks for your contributions to SR.

Oh my goodness, you all have been making me cry!

At the same time apparently I had programmed in my phone calendar the event today of my sober Anniversary and forgotten I had done it. It keeps popping up every 15 minutes with a banner across the top saying "Happy Sober Year Anniversary!' ...and that is making me laugh!

You all mean the world to me! How very lucky we are to have found one another in this vast world!

what a fantastic inspiring post.

im on day 7 now and was just about chewing my fingers off last night mulling over the fact that i 'just need to cut down' rather than stop, and other such excuses.

the fact you are now a year on and so much better off has really hit me. im now contemplating where i would like to be in a year. and i know where i wouldnt like to be.

thanks for this.
