307 days
And very proud of it.
The beginning few months were a bit of a roller coaster. Ups and downs, meetings meetings meetings, and diving into work. Over the later months I have now found that I am feeling very lost. Feelings I am not used to come, emotions I am unfamiliar with also come and go (Which I am currently in counseling for. ) and I think I am closing my business as I find it very overwhelming, and some days I struggle to get out of bed.
But, despite all this, I am extremely grateful that I am sober. I am much more well equipped to deal with this now than had I continued my vicious cycle of blackout drinking. I have been gone for a while trying to figure myself, and my life out. I want to start posting more again and getting involved. Happy to be here.

307 days of sobriety is great! I understand how your feelings change as time goes on. I have found that things appear for me to deal with when I am ready. I'm glad that you're talking to a counsellor. 
The first year can be hard, but you're getting thru it and I'm proud of you.
