Five (5!!!) years sober today
 

Just wanted to reach out with a quick note of gratitude to everyone here at SR!

I was confused, angry, and desperate when I first found this website almost 5 years ago. Today I can happily celebrate the fact that it's been 5 years since my last drink. I posted this in the newcomer's forum because there might be some folks on Day 5 instead of Year 5. Congrats to you! We all started somewhere. Have faith in yourself, and stay true to yourself. Remember the reasons you want to be sober. And don't forget to dream about all you'll achieve once you get comfortable in sobriety. Keep your goals reasonable and achievable, take small steps as you go....in a year you'll look back and see you've climbed a mountain. The sky's the limit. You can do this!

Thanks again to the gang at SR for all the support over the years.

WAY TO GO!!! 5 years is amazing!!! I was on track for 5 years this August, but I relapsed last November. I'll get there, again. Good on you!
