I am happy to have made it this far, with way more “easy” days than “hard” ones, in terms of managing addictive thought patterns. I’ve got busy with life, family, work. I’ve made many plans and resolutions, even managed to achieve a couple of them. Emotionally, a bit all over the place as I figure out aging, looking after aging parents, balancing family life, raising our son, my husband’s emotional immaturity at times… But, I know through all of it, my recovery comes first and is the priority. All of the rest will fall into place (or not, as the case may be). I don’t have to control everything, as there are many MANY things outside my control. And all in all, sober life has been so much better than I could have thought. The clarity, the peace, the patience…
Thank you, sober friends, TS family, for helping me, walking with me, making me think, making me smile and laugh. I wouldn’t have made it this far without you, and I am looking forward to my third sober year with you all.
I agree and love this quote. Great congratulations!. I am also next to two years free and my life has changed, in a positive way, a lot. You are completely right: recovery is an essential part of our lives.
High congratulations and thank you for sharing. I encourage you in taking care of your aging people. Being sober sure you do it very well. This caring is the best way for love.
Congrats on your 2 years! I pretty much share the same feelings after 731 days sober!!
Have a great day and I hope you celebrate your accomplishment! Ice cream cake??
One day at a time, 3 years here we come👍🏻
@EFountains Thank you, I try… I’m rooting for you too! @Misokatsu Thank you, Flo. I am actually very proud, yes. Like everyone here, I’ve had my share of feeling defeated, hopeless, and like I could never get over my addiction. When I think about those moments, being two years out feels almost unreal. But my constant effort and daily work on myself have been real enough. I’m both proud and thankful that I’ve been able to maintain sobriety. @Dazercat Which one was Merry hobbit again? @Caspio I know I’m in good company here. Way to go, sober buddy!
. Enjoy your day
