    One Year today

    Good morning everyone. Today is one year of sobriety for me! One one hand I am so proud of myself - I made it through all the holidays all the ups and downs - I made it through a trip to FRANCE without a drink. On the other hand I have become so confident in my mind set of "I don't drink" it doesn't feel that exciting. I need to reflect on how low I was and how bad it was to truly celebrate this victory!

    Thanks to everyone here who supported me through the struggles and hugs to all of you still fighting the battle in a more hands-on way! There is light at the end of the tunnel - hang in there!

    :good:Hi tiredoftrying, this is a wonderful achievement. Congratulations!

    If you have any doubts of how far you have come go back and read your first posts. Reflect on where you were a year ago.

    It is truely an accomplishment when not drinking is so ingrained in you that you don't think much about it or find it exciting any more. It's now just your lifestyle choice to be alcohol free and that is marvellous!

    Well done again, many here including myself would love to get to this point in the journey.
    If alcohol made you happy I should be the happiest person alive! I'm not.

          TiredofHiding - many congratulations to you on this special day. This quote really struck me as part of your post, I am only 3 months into my sobriety but I too am not feeling big "fireworks" every time I hit these milestones, more of a quiet peace that I do not struggle any longer.

          All the best to you and thank you for sharing your successes with us!!!!

            How wonderful for you, Tired! Many, MANY Congratulations!

            You know... fireworks usually don't last very long... that peaceful feeling, however....
            Thank you for sharing your success with us, still struggling towards the light.

              Thank you all for your congrats. That's what I love about this place - there is understanding across the board - of how amazing 1 year is and how rewarding it is to be "content" at that place.

              These forums are often in my "Thank you God" prayers. . . . I don't get back here very much anymore, but when I easily enjoy some seltzer water instead of wine I think of everyone here.

              Even though Al is gone, I still struggle with the stress and anxiety that pushed me to him. I am working hard at getting rid of Sug (Sugar) and getting into a more intimate relationship with Gym on a regular basis!
