1 year today

Today I make 1 year in recovery. It has been a challenging year. But I took it day by day. And when the days got tough I would just take a breath and say it will pass and I will be stronger. Go through it and grow through it. I set non negotiable habits such as reading meditation and exercise eating healthy and sleep. These have helped me keep balance and discipline in my life. Always be grateful for what you already have and everything will fall in place. Thank you for all the support sober recovery. Family time. Have a great day

Wonderful news, sticky! I felt so much stronger after getting past all those triggers that first year. Holidays, birthday, vacation, etc.
You're doing this thing.

Thankyou all for the post. Today i work on day 367. I had gone out with the family for my 1 year anniversary everything went well. Had a little anxiety due to the CDC new guide lines on mask wearing. Its something I'm really going to have to refocus on is getting back to socializing but keeping safe at the same time. I have made many achievements over this pass year and learned a lot about myself. And I have to admit that i have became a little socially awkward around larger groups of people. I will get past this issue I just need to get comfortable with being uncomfortable. One day at a time.
