One year sober!

I never thought i would be writing this as 1 day seemed impossible never mind a whole year alcohol free , this time a year ago i was at the hospital with problems with my heart from many many years of drinking .
To anyone who is on the first days it does get easier and the more months you have the easier its gets , if i can do it after 25 years of daily drinking you can too.
Here is to the next year!!!

Congrats Endoftheday!
Keep up the good fight.

Your words are encouraging to me. I’m at a bit less than 5 months.

Way to go!

Congrats on 1 year! I'll have my year 1 on January 2nd. I agree that sobriety is easier with each month that goes by.
