Congratulations Angel on 9 Months of sobriety and forever and a day ago on quitting the stinky smokes too. I knew you would do this, it's the stubborness that really pays off when you need for it too. Way to Go!

Congratulations on reaching 9 months sober!!

Thank you Hippie... it feels great to be at 9 months!
I give myself credit every day that I had courage & determination 9 months ago to stay the course even though I was scared, and had no idea what this journey would lead me on.
Yes... I was very scared & frightened when I first started out... just like most of us.
But it doesn't take long for us to see that there is nothing to be fearful of... a better person is waiting to emerge, if we just give them time, understanding & forgiveness.

It's overcoming that 'fear of change', even when we know it is in our best interests, that a lot of us find hard I think. Only when I was able to do this was I able to move forward with some clarity and perspective with my own sobriety. I guess this initial fear some would call denial.

You are right as well that the journey should be just that, a journey. If we start to perceive there is some 'final destination' then we will never be truly happy with our continuing sobriety. The journey is infinite as is the pursuit of happiness.

Love AND Happiness
Hippie
