    You should be proud of yourself -- when one day at a time amounts to a milestone like '1 year' it is wonderful.

    I am happy (?) to bump this thread, as today is my official one-year without alcohol.  I typically acknowledge the monthly milestones on the first, but fuck it.  As I told the dear friend who congratulated me this morning, I've earned every day of it.

    As I said to my husband earlier, I may not have avoided the hospital this past year (just got out a few days ago), but I have stayed away from the booze for 365 days.

    So while I may not be in good physical health, I'm pretty fucking proud of myself :)

    (and ever grateful for the warmth extended during this odyssey)

    You deserve every bit of that pride in yourself, and more! You've earned it. Congratulations, hedo :joy:

    You deserve to scream for joy at the sky. Seriously no one will ever know how hard it is if they have not been through it. I personal don't know you but you put a smile on my face.

    CONGRATS!

    I am so proud of you and so happy for your happiness!!  One year is a long way to travel from your last drink to today and you have been wonderful in expressing yourself  and asking for help or just checking in. I'm glad that you are out of the hospital on your sober anniversary and I hope that your health improves with time, or at least does not get any worse. 

    We need wonderful people like you around here. Happy, happy one year!!! :joy:

    they do say progress not perfection......

    sometimes I still revel in being an asshole. Usually after patience and tolerance  has worn super thin.

    almost permanently losing the privilege (was seeming like that was the case) to post saddened me cuz I wouldnt be able to continue contributing here. This thread is one of the more important things I have done in sobriety, but actions have consequences, dont they.....

    Gah, damn anger.  Still working on that damned nut here.

    I'm glad to see you back, mickey.  I would've been very disappointed had you been "gone" for good.

    And...don't let the Troll get you going.  It is the goal of The Troll to annoy the crap out of everyone until a sharp response is written...and then The Troll goes to the mods to try and get some sort of strange pleasure from reprimands given out.
    The Troll is an odd creation of the internet / modern times.
    The Troll would not be tolerated irl.  Better
    to just set any posters you think are trying to play The Troll to "ignore" and let them try to get under the skin of others.
