Congrats on one year! That is awesome. My sobriety date is July 4th 2016. A day of freedom and for me a day of freedom from alcoholism !

Fantastic post! Congrats on one year! Loved the paragraph above, made me laugh out loud....been there, tried to do that!!!

Glorious post, Artemis!
I wanted to bold every bit of it to re-quote, then realised.....no, not necessary, because it ALL is in bold anyway. Bold and wonderful colour.
