10 years sober

For a change I'm gonna heap some praise on myself. I did it. I'm the one who got up every day and diverted my attention away from having another drink. I'm genuinely proud of myself I can honestly say. And I'm going to heap some praise on SoberRecovey as well. I'm truly grateful you are here. This is where I have spent 1000's of hours of my time and it worked. I would rather be here than in a bar. I probably should spend more time in the mental health forums but I live in the Newcomers to Recovery forum. Can't remember how many times I have relived the torment of day1,2,3. It's frightening, terrible, but I briefly do it and it's kept me from drinking all these years I love you all and thank you for being here. Snoochies

Ten years! How wonderful - so very proud of you!
I have stayed sober using a similar method - reliving the way it used to be for us. Never going back again.

So awesome and so happy for you! You have given me (all of us) countless great music videos and pretty roses, too.

So thank you!

Congrats! Ten years only comes around once. I'm glad you're here.

Giant congratulations, Nef -- you've been a solid source of support for many many of us drunks as long as I've been coming here. Thank you for all your flowers.

So validating. I'm only 6 months sober yet but looking back to the horror is helping me stay sober. I have certain "memories" i call upon when drinking seems feasible...which it will never be! I must keep the memories alive!

Thanks so much for sharing. 10 years is just incredible.
