4 Years!

I celebrated my four year sober anniversary on the first! I found SR searching for "sober 6 months and depressed". The newness and excitement of sobriety had worn off and I was down. I made it through that first year and things have been getting better and better slowly but surely. Part of me still says "I'm sober? Me?" Yep! No cigs, no beer, and no weed. I still have bad days, and I still have a lot of work to do. But, my friends, we can do it! Much love y'all!

Huge congratulations!

These posts are so inspiring to read. Resonate well with the "6 months sober and depressed". Thank you for sharing & giving this depressed guy one more reason to keep going.
