Two years, seems like a long time and no time so much has changed, but also not a lot has changed. Life is clear I can see and hear things better. I have a better understanding of myself in my life. I still have a lot of hurdles to accomplish, but I have faith in myself now and it feels good to be on that path.

2 years is great
Hopefully I can say that
(181 days)
It’s good to hear from successful people
Congrats! 24 months is a HUGE accomplishment! Keep up the AMAZING work!
Congrats 
I hit my bottom and didn’t want to live like that anymore. To be honest I always thought I’d die high. But between my program and the people there and my bottom I don’t want to go backwards again.

Thank you. It’s huge for considering I haven’t gone more than a day without drugs for 8 years straight. And on and off for 12 years before the 8.

Thank you. 
Way to go! Never gonna be a hurdle you can’t jump with that attitude and faith in yourself! Never lose that faith!
We continue to find more peace and stability.. and it’s beautiful to wake up with all this time.. and you realize the “promises” are happening for us, even when we doubt them and ourselves.
An old timer at my mtgs says if u write down 10 things ur life will be like in a yr or 5yrs or 10yrs and u keep growing in the program during that whole time…. There is no way you can think big enough or good enough to accurately picture it

Congrats! Stay the course. Self doubt is replaced by self assurance. Together we can do what seemed impossible.
Congratulations young lady

So good to hear the positivity!
@melissa316841 CONGRATULATIONS on your 2 years of sobriety.
The good part about sobriety is that we are given the opportunity to live two lives in one lifetime.
Melissa 1.0 was a train wreck and a tornado all in one.
Melissa 2.0 is a calm and functioning member of Society. Granted she's a diamond in the rough and a little rough around the edges yet over the course of time she will be shiny and polished.
You can do this my friend. I have faith in you. Keep up the good work.
Thank you. I still get to be a bit to hard on myself, not being farther than I think I should. But then I try to remember to speak better of myself. I’m taking on step at a time and that’s better than nothing.
Thank you. I try not to get too far into the future thinking, I either get overwhelmed and shut down or get upset with myself for not being farther than I think I should. However the longer I stay sober the longer I can think about the future.
Thank you. I honestly never thought I’d be here. I always said I’d die high just because I wasn’t able to stay sober for more than a few hours. Getting sober felt impossible for a long time for me. Beating that feeling has been a big help
Honestly I hit a bottom. My life went from having a good job, being productive in my child’s school, sports, every day life, paying bills, not having a lot of money but I could afford food, gas. At my end of 25+ years of using anything and everything, I was a junkie “working” for my plug so I wouldn’t be sick. I found a methadone clinic and took it as seriously as I could. I hated what I had become and why I had done to myself and my relationship with my daughter. I honestly never thought I’d get and stay sober, always said I’d die high. But seeing how I was going to end up with absolutely nothing, and no family. I fallow my program to the T. The beginning was har, I was filled with emotions I hadn’t dealt with for a long time. But between my clinic program, my meds, and being able to spend time in nature has helped me heal a lot. I don’t believe in God it’s just not my thing personally but I do believe in finding a higher power to help you. Mines Mother Nature, I do a lot of hiking and nature photography.
