Smile 13 yrs sober today!!

When I started on this journey, I didn't think I could make it this far, but I was wrong, and am so glad I was wrong.

If you're just starting out, or starting over, take it a day at a time and believe that you can do this.

I give the credit for my sobriety to the members here at SR who encouraged me on my journey. I don't know if I could have made it this far without the support and advice from the members here.

Thank you everyone!!

A hearty congratulations Least. You taught me that a Greatful addict never has to use again. That is a very important lesson that I've learned, gratitude has healing powers.
Blessed Be namaste

Amazing work!!! You should be so proud of yourself.

In my rehab programme they've told me my biggest obstacle is that I still see it as a fight every day rather than a positive life choice I've made. They said in their experience, if I keep seeing it as a fight, I'll get too exhausted and that;s when It'll strike?

I would really appreciate your wise words, or anyone who's reading

thanks guys

Dee, yes, a lot has happened to me over the last year and something. But thru it all, my sobriety made me able to deal with the adversity with a clear head and a healthy practical mind.

And I can't emphasize enough how grateful I am to the members here. You guys rock!

Congratulations least. 🌺 🐶

When I first came here it was your avatar that drew me. The balancing act. Teetering.

Now, it because I know you are good person.

Wise too.

Well done least.
