    Reflections on Two Years of Sobriety

    Well here it is, my two year sobriety milestone. No celebration, no confetti, just appreciation. I joined MWO in November of '09. I remember that day well. I had the hangover of all hangovers. I used to call those hellovers. I remember the welcomes, some newbies but mainly senior members making statements about how they never knew they could be so happy. I was extremely skeptical at first, but did a lot of reading through the threads. Some posts made me laugh, some a bit weepy. Some of the posts had a mythical bent to them. I was waiting to hear “Ten points for Gryffindor” hollered through my computer speakers I used to read about all the happy sober people and think I’d stumbled on a secret society of blissed out spiritualists with horrible pasts. I am so very happy I stuck with MWO.

    I have learned much in my two years sober. I have learned to appreciate the beauty of morning without the the headaches and nausea. I now embrace the day with excitement and wonder. More importantly I have learned selflessness, humility, and friendship. I've made personal discoveries as well. I think I have found a level of contentment, and happiness. I have grown into a better person than that hungover guy back in late autumn '09.

    I owe a profound thanks and debt of gratitude to all you who have helped nurture me along this road. Your support and encouragement are undying. I sincerely appreciate every shoulder you've allowed me to lean on. For your love and kindness I will be eternally grateful. God bless everyone of you.

    Peace,
    Techie

        A lovely uplifting and positive post Techie
        You have come so far in such a short time despite some fairly horrendous bumps in the road...
        And you give it all back, your happiness, your contentment
        For others.
        Fantastic on your 2 years!!!
        So happy for you

                      Well done you wonderful quiet achiever! Who would know - which is why we love you. Ordering the coffee to celebrate as we speak. And expecting many more humourous piccies, clips and other stuff to be seen hanging in the Undies. xx hp

                          CONGRATULATIONS ON 2 YEARS AF!!

                          Techie I joined at much the same time as you and I can remember in the early days you and I keeping the fun monthly threads going. I say there is lots to celebrate and throw confetti about when you think how far you have come. You have aways been a great positive guy with amazing energy and an incredible outlook at whatever life throws at you, MWO is definitely a better place having you around.

                          As I sit here early Sunday morning with my coffee and no "hellover" I share your appreciation for the wonderful life sobriety has given us. Techie Im really really proud of you and the person you have grown into. :l
