Made it thru year one. Thank you, SR!
 

So, 01/01 made a full year. I made it thru Hurricane Ida and we are still living in a 31’ camper trailer, parked in my front yard… waiting on the house repairs to continue. Prolly be like that till April.

There was a time in Sept when everything was still shut down- work, stores, amenities, no electricity, no internet, hell, no cell phone coverage for a couple weeks, that I almost stopped for a bottle. I somehow didn’t and used the disaster to occupy my time.

We collected and moved about 25 wheel barrels of shingles to the road. That’s how the water came into the house, thru the roof and then thru the ceiling drywall driven by 125 MPH Winds. We had 1/8 to 1/4 inch of water on deck in every room. We cleaned brush and debris for two weeks, kept the generator running for 14 days to keep the food cold. But we did it and we did it sober.

thank you at Sober Recovery for the inspiration and constant reminders

I love you BayouMan!!! I have always loved your posts. Congrats on one year through such adversity!!! It brings tears to my eyes what you have been through. Keep posting when you can because it really helps all of us with perspective.

Fantastic news, BayouMan! Great job. You got this now.

That one year mark is a pretty special one. Congratulations, you should feel so proud of all you’ve survived this year.

Congratulations on 1 year sober 🙏

Congratulations on 1 year Bayou Man - I hope 2022 is good to you :)

Congrats on a year sober, especially considering the circumstances.

Recovery and sobriety are about not turning to the bottle when problems arise. You did that in spades. Many alcoholics would have caved for a lot less. Congratulations.

Awesome, Bayou man! You can do hard things!

🎉🎊🪅🎏🪄

Thanks and big congratulations 🤓❤️

Congratulations on your 1st year!

Hopefully the 2nd year is a little less challenging.

Congrats BayouMan on your first sober year...!!!!

Thought you'd like to see this from one of our own

Congrats on a year.

Congratulations BayouMan on making it through what has been a very challenging time and on reaching your one year sober anniversary.

Good Work!

Congrats! That's awesome! I hope they get your home repaired before too much longer.

Awesome, well done!! Sorry to hear about your home. A few years ago someone broke into our house (we were out) robbed it and set it on fire before they left in one of our cars that was in the driveway. So I hear you on the pain involved when your home becomes uninhabitable. You'll be back in in no time and as you said, sober!!

Congrats on the first of many sober years! :)
