Today I celebrate 2 years of sobriety. I wanted to post here in General for those who don't read the alcohol/substance abuse forum. PC has been instrumental in my recovery. Having you all to talk to has saved me time and time again. Being able to give back is a huge part of my staying sober, and I have the ability to do that here.

Thank you to everyone who has offered me support over the last 2 years, and especially after my MS diagnosis. That was the hardest thing I've experienced in my sobriety and being able to come here and get support, and whine and complain has been an immense help.

Thank you to everyone I've chatted with. Chat saves me also, when I'm feeling lonely, I can come talk to people and thats a HUGE help!!

I couldn't have done these last two years, one day at a time, without my recovery program and this wonderful community. I need PC and all of you!!!!

Thank you thank you thank you ALL for being an integral part of my sobriety!!!

2 years, yee haw!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love ya'll,

~Rayna

I have followed your sobriety journey (though I have been silent) and you have always been an inspiration and a source of strength to me.

How proud you must be of your achievement.

I wish nothing but strength and peace for you. I know that I look up to you!
