It doesn't seem like that long, does it, lushy? I can't believe I've been a member here for 3 1/2 years!

I can't stress how much MWO has meant in my journey into sobriety. Before I came here, I felt hopeless about being able to stop or slow down my drinking. I had gone to a number of AA meetings, but I wasn't always able to "take the best and leave the rest". The spirit and acceptance here made an instant impression on me.

It still took me a long time to stop completely (which had become my goal over time), but everyone here stuck by me through thick and thin. MWO has been a blessing for me.

I failed twice at sobriety before this stint. I hope this knowledge will help people keep the faith and keep trying if sobriety is your goal.

Also, Mary, I keep wondering why you are not set up for private messages.

Janet, thanks for being a friend on my journey.

Charlee, AFM, Best--you all are very special and I appreciate your good wishes.

For those of you that I don't know very well, keep the faith. You can do this. If I can, you can. Trust me.

Just saw this thread and had to put my WAY TO GO IN!!! One year -- HOW AWESOME IS THAT!!! It doesn't matter if you had a couple "dry" runs before this - they all lead up to your being able to kick it out the door !! So happy for you dear!!

YAH: I don't get private messages, because I was concerned they would come to my email at home. Is there a way to receive PM's only here at MWO? I'm completely anonymous (including my loved ones), & I don't want to share MWO w/them at this time.

I can't tell you how much your progress has meant to me...especially when I lapsed. Knowing that you were here for quite a while before attaining a year of sobriety has given me a lot of hope.

Right now I'm not drinking but am taking it ODAT. I'm not sharing a number of days w/anyone, though I do have a sobriety calculator in my favorites. I don't check it daily, because I want to concentrate on today for a while. I too have reached the conclusion that drinking is not for me. If my relapses have taught me anything it's that I'm an alcoholic drinker the minute I go back to it.

Again, congratulations! Mary

Kathy,

I've been away for a bit but wanted to congratulate you on 1 Year. I also wanted to thank you - something you wrote to me has stuck with me. You told me to "trust the process" when I was somewhere around 60 days AF and feeling like the most reluctant sober person on MWO. I am still trusting the process and have been sober for more than 4 months.

Congrats and Thanks,
Beck

A year AF is an incredible achievement -do you feel like a completely different person these days?
What is the best thing about your life one year on?
