Two Years Today!
Hello SR friends,
It's been awhile since I have posted actively in the forums. I will never forget the support that I received from this site, years of struggling to get sober, many DAY 1's and cries for help. I was greeted with kindness and understanding, each and every time. Thanks you all for that, for believing in me and giving me the strength to believe in myself. I'm 2 years sober today and celebrating my 50th Bday. What a gift I have given myself. Unconditional love, freedom from my past mistakes, and the ability to move forward with a new lease on life.
Thank you SR, you are a light in the darkness for many, I will always be grateful.
Blessings~

Hi Wildflower - I had the privilege of being in the Sept 2018 group with you, Final Call and a few others...
I am so delighted you came back and told us. And I am absolutely delighted for you!!!
My story since then - I was sober 60 days in July 2018, then drank, then joined Sept 2018 with you but could only string together a few days or weeks. Gave up in 2019 repeatedly but no joy - then this year my wife of 20 years decided to leave me
That shocked me in to action and I am now 6.5 months sober. She and I are just working out the practicalities of the separation (which has been hampered by Covid, of course!) and she is likely to leave the house next month.
If I had stuck with sobriety in the summer of 2018 my marriage probably would not have ended. But life just IS and I am learning to accept life on its terms, including my past, my mistakes and all weaknesses. As you can probably tell - I am actually doing alright

Be123,
Yes, I remember you and the struggles you were going through. I'm sorry that the road has been bumpy and your relationship has been strained. I am still trying to repair past relationships, it may or may not ever happen. What I can do is stay sober, for me, and continue to build the life I want and need. I am so happy you are doing that too!
Bless you on the journey.

I'm so glad you reclaimed your life.
