11 months today!

Almost a year since I began my journey of recovery. Hard to believe this much time has passed. I feel better than I've probably ever felt and owe a lot of my success so far to SR. I'm not a prolific poster, but I'm here every day reading advice from others, laughing, crying and always hoping for the best for everyone here. There's nothing special about me or my story, nothing that hasn't been shared a hundred times before. Which just goes to show that if I can do this, anyone reading this can, too. Believe in yourself, believe in the power of others to help and you can overcome the evil that torments you, in my case alcohol.

Stay on course! Best to all, and thanks!

I remember my 11th month of not drinking.
I was super, super excited about hitting a year.

I knew I was never going back, but I didn't tell anyone I had no intention of returning to drink.

I couldn't believe I was coming up to a year.
I was so proud of myself.
It was such a nice feeling. For once I was not ashamed at myself and that made me really happy.

I also remember really enjoying that 11th month.
I took great pleasure in being sober if that makes any sense?

I hope you enjoy your 11th month too.

I wish you the best xxxx
