One year sober.
To say that I’m grateful would be a woefully inadequate statement. It’s been a year of slowly waking up again and coming back to life. It’s been hard. I’ve been tempted over and over again. But, for me personally, the more time I have sober the more I know this is the ONLY option for my life. And I will keep giving myself this gift every day.
I have had many days where my Booze-Brain said “well you made it this far, so why don’t you just have one drink?”
And “You deserve a drink, today was terrible!”
And “You deserve a drink, today was great!”
And “You deserve a drink, today was neutral!”
And “What if we just get a liiiiiiittle
wasted?”
To which I will continue to gracefully reply “Fat chance, ya d*ck. BuggerOff.”
And I have to give an earth-shatteringly huge thank you to everyone on Loosid that has helped me along the way. There’s absolutely no way I’d be sitting here a year sober if it weren’t for the support I’ve gotten- especially those wavy first 6 months.
I’m a bit beside myself with gratitude.
Looking forward to every wonderful, horrible, boring, awe-inspiring, dreadful, delightful, challenging, unremarkable day I have ahead of me- with a clear head, and a helluva lot of support 
(And here is a fitting picture of me literally climbing a mountain on my Soberversary)!
