Today! The longest I have ever been sober as an adult. It's amazing how much I have been able to accomplish in such a short amount of time. All my relationships are better, (family, friends, work colleagues). I am single still, and following the advice to wait until one year sober at least to start dating. I totally understand why. That is my trigger, dating, and I am working on myself and my self confidence through yoga, meditation, and counseling. I am not a person who gets much positive solutions from aa, but a lot of people I know do so I respect it. I don't post a lot lately, but I am on here daily reading. SR has been there for me for years, and I am so blessed to have an outlet to talk to others who understand. Thank you! Please feel free to give any advice, it always is appreciated.

Hi Lucie
for what its worth I'm glad I waited to work on myself before I got back into relationships. The difference was amazing

Congrats on your sober time

Thank you all purpleknight, you've been helping me a very long time now, and yes I've come a long way since I first joined. Thanks for your kind words. Dee, all of your advice has helped me more than you know, so it's worth a lot. You're the backbone of this! Good luck and good job to everyone. I can't believe it's true that is does get easier. I never want to go back to those dark days. It's honestly the saddest and scariest thing I can imagine. I finally feel like an adult at 31. Excited for what lies ahead.
