Three years
 

Yesterday marked my third year of sobriety, and I'm so very grateful.

Times have definitely been tough, but would not have survived at all had I been drinking. Life would have gone down down the drain. Family too. :(

Wanted others to know that its possible to stop and that no matter what life deals you, you will always play a better hand when sober. :)

Congrats, Least! You are such a bright light. You have conquered a lot over the last few years. Weathered storms. Proving to all that staying the course is 100% worth it. Im so happy for you. Keep on keepin on!

Big hugs and congrats to you on reaching your third year sober! :). :hug: You are so right that life can be difficult, but drinking makes it 1,000 times worse.

Congratulations!!!

:nyy Way to go, Steely! :nyy

Congrats Steely! You are one year ahead of me. I hope your PAWS is getting better.

Congratulations Steely - you’ve done the hard yards :)

Thanks, everyone.

Congratulations on 2 years CBS. Saw your post yesterday, and gave it the big thumbs up. :) When we eventually 'get it', time doesn't matter all that much. We are sober. And always will be. They'll need us sober types when the heat is really on. Lol Stll some residual PAWS, but improving. Gawd, what a nightmare is PAWS.

Hey, Mizz. Steely, here. I think least has about 10 years on me. :) Looked you up yesterday 'cause hadn't seen you around, and wondered if you were ok. I always like your considered posts.

Anyrate, thanks heaps everyone.

Sober Rocks, even when getting pelted with rocks, because you learn how to dodge them.

You're making me cry Dee. Thanks so much. x

Congratulations on your 3 years Steely 🎉. Hard won but that's what makes a champion!

Well done, steely. Sounds like you quit before a lot of bad stuff came along. That took some willpower to stay quit, but you did it :) Well done on 3 years.

Steely - I'm so glad we finally figured out how to stay free. I'm thrilled you've reached your hard-earned 3rd anniversary. I'm so happy - and proud to know you. :hug:

Three years is really wonderful. Your posts are always so helpful in pointing the way forward, even in difficult times. Thank you Steely.

Congratulations!! That is awesome.

I'm still around, Steely. Thanks for thinking of me. Here we are building, creating, and doing the things! Sobriety is well worth it even in the toughest of days.

:) :) Happy Holidays to you and yours, Steely.

Steely, congratulations on 3 years of recovery. I know a bit about how hard those years have been for you, and I have so much admiration for how strong you are.

:scoregood

Congrats on 3 years Steely. You have really done the work as life has thrown a lot at you. But it's never more than we can handle and you never waver.

You have a great sense of humor and it seeps into your posts. Wonderful to read.

Nothing but admiration for you, Steely.

Congratulations, Steely. On to year 4!
Merry Christmas!
