Thankyou all so very much. I feel very lucky to have the life I have today.

Early recovery isn't easy. I remember the early days of craving and the general confusion of not knowing how my life would change, whether I would lose my friends, how I would ever enjoy life sober. I remember the brain fog, the lethargy, the emotional ups and downs. I remember just how hard those early few months are....

But if you work hard at it, if you're prepared to do whatever it takes, if you're willing to make changes in your lifestyle and embrace a new way of living. Then it really does get better. Not just a little bit, but unbelievably so.

Thankyou SR xxx

Thanks Jeni you have helped me too, and took time out to pm me about how you done it. I am finding my way slowly but surely and I thank you for being part of my journey.
And well done. A year is a great achievement x
