Well, it's been an incredibly long and rocky road, but I finally hit one year sober again today, May 26. I'm really happy about this anniversary, and am feeling really good.

The past week has been insane with really bad cravings to drink, but I reached out to sober friends and got support and got through it.

I'm going to a drop in meeting at my rehab today, to tell everyone and to thank the staff.

Thanks too, for all the support you guys have given me over the years.

I know it's a one day at a time thing, and that's how I treat it, but I really never want to relapse again.

Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

One year? It has gone so fast - though I know it doesn't feel like it.

Congrats splitimage - I am so happy for you. May you go from strength to strength

Congratulations...ONE YEAR..is a huge scary thing...and happy at the same time...it seems once you get to a year...that the fight gets easier because it is like a competition you against the drink...and your winning...

Happy Birthday!
