10 years today!!
 
I haven't had a drink in 10 years, as of today. It feels good.

A decade of sobriety is a curious milestone. On one hand, addiction seems like a lifetime ago in a different country. On the other hand, enough of it -- the hangovers, auto-pilot to the liquor store -- stays vivid enough in my memory to keep me humble. Gratitude anchors me.

My fervent wish for all here is that you find the peace made possible by sobriety. No matter how pummeled you may feel, please hold on. Follow the guidepost at the crossroads; you can do this.

Thank you, as always, to Dee and Anna and everyone at Sober Recovery. You are heroes.

Allison

Great job and huge congratulatios, V! As a fellow Aug 2013 classmate, I can say no one deserves it more.

You have been through a lot, especially early on, and I admire your courage, strength and persistence in facing it all sober.

You are a shining light.
