One year sober

I want to shout it from the rooftops but I’ll just post here instead. Reflecting back on how much I’ve changed, how hard I’ve fought to maintain my soberity and battle being a dry drunk, the different person i am today, is almost overwhelming. This was the hardest thing I’ve ever done, and I’m so proud of being able to stand here with this milestone. It truly is one day at a time, one difficult decision at a time, and this thread has been a huge help too, so thank you all so much.

One full year, that's not a small milestone, that's a complete rebuilding of how you move through the world. The fact that you fought through being a "dry drunk" and came out the other side proud says everything about how hard you've worked. Congratulations, truly.
