Today is my 10 year Anniversary! If I can do it, anyone can! I would like to say it’s been a smooth road, but I would be lying. In fact, I have been through more things physically and emotionally in my Sobriety than when I was drinking. About 6 surgeries, got married, and moved about 6 times! But I did it all sober! I’m so grateful for the program of AA, God, (my Higher Power , and my friends and family. I hope this helps someone.

Congratulations! What an amazing feat.
congratulations that is terrific! 
I haven’t had any cravings for alcohol in awhile, but I still have "fleeting thoughts "of taking a drink sometimes, but I have learned to think the drink through, which stops me from taking that first drink. You see the last time I got drunk, my daughter, (who was only about 5 years old at the time), got hurt. That was the last straw for me. I had hit my emotional bottom. I hope this has helped someone.

@Susie_Best55 you are inspiration. 10 years sober, if I could do it, I am sure I will change the status of life and family. Thank God I have great family and career and want to maintain that way. Thanks for sharing your experience. I am also into prayers everyday twice and do meditation. That really helps to maintain my focus and living one day at a time. God bless all of us.
