Unfortunately my family isn’t as excited for this as I am; and I lost most of my friends during my drunkenness. But I need to take a moment to be grateful, and proud of myself. No one really understands when I say it took me 2 years to make it to one month. The failures, the “why did I again”, and “if I only hadn’t” I replaced with “just one day at a time”. Fingers crossed I have the strength to continue this journey, but for today I couldn’t be happier.

Congratulations. That's a big deal whether they're excited for you or not. We know how difficult it is. Great job.

Congratulations!!! I am right there with you in the same situation! We’ll celebrate our victories together! I am proud of you! You are getting stronger everyday! Congratulations you deserve a celebration💕
Congrats! It took me a while to get a few months together, and for a time, I was in rehab, left feeling well, only to be back there again a week or two later. Wash, rinse, repeat. Everyone's journey is their own, but friends can help and friends can celebrate accomplishments with you! Also, great to see another New Englander here. Hello from the South Shore of MA!
We’re all right with you! I tried for years and years to make it one month, I never just sat back and realized I was powerless to stop on my own until I lost almost everything in my life and had to try something new! Insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting different results…..good job I know you’ll do well!!

Extremely happy for you ! I lost everyone as well. I'd make it for a few days, maybe a month, and then bam, back to where I was. But as of now, I'm a little over 6 months sober ! If I can do it, I PROMISE you can too ! Very proud of you ! I know it's one of, if not THE, hardest things to do. 
Woo hoo!!! Congrats!!! I’m at day 77, unfortunately this isn’t my first 77th day. What matters is we keep trying. There is nothing wrong with sick people that continue to try to get better.
Great work!!! Keep it up!!!
Congratulations on 1 month! That’s a miracle if you drank anything like I did.
Our family and friends will never be as interested in our own sobriety as we are. And they shouldn’t be. It’s an inside job for us. It’s our sobriety, no one else’s. Keep getting to meetings, every day. More will be revealed. ODAAT
Congrats!! I feel the pain of losing friends AND family. Because of my mom's alcohol abuse, we haven't talked in almost four years. Keep up the great work!!
Congratulations Noreen!!
