I passed the 1000 day marker of staying sober!

It happened 17 days ago, but I was too depressed at the time to care or to point it out to anybody. So, hey, now I am pointing it out! I can't believe I have been sober this long.

There is no doubt in my mind that getting sober saved my life. And, being sober is so much better than living in that vicious cycle of addiction.

Today, I am very grateful to be sober.
