Hope you are keeping well and remaining on the righteous path! Happy to announce I am 2 years clean today from Alcohol & Cocaine.
I am extremely proud of the changes I have made during my recovery and would love to inspire someone else to take the pledge and change their life.
I would like to ask the community how they celebrate their milestones? How do you remain focused on recovery when the return on investment inevitably diminishes?
Way to go Jack! 2 years is a huge accomplishment⌠keep going strong
I am 10 + months in and so far have celebrated milestones with dinner, a movie, museum, arboretum, jewelry and new cloths. Plan on doing day, weekend trips and vacations as celebrations in the future.
How will you celebrate your 2 years?
For me i am focusing on getting healthy and living a pain free lifestyle. I know i am still fairly young and have time to change things and this is my motivation. I do not want to put any poison (smoke or drink) into my body. I donât think the return ever really diminishes (but then iâm still new to the sober journey). I would like to think that living a life with a clear mind and actually remembering all my experiences is forever rewarding.
Thank you for sharing your amazing milestone with us - keep stacking on the days!
Congratulations on 2years!!! hope you have a great day! I love to celebrate with (my little) Family get together with my hub and sons, take out and cake!! Great work! You are an inspiration
Congratulations on the first two years! Iâm one day ahead of you as I got to mark two years on Sunday
I see the âbig returnsâ continuing as I continue to work on myself, active in the ârecoveryâ along with sobriety.
Iâm focusing on becoming the person I really want to be, kind, patient, wise, able to love well.
A lot of my drinking was self medicating because I did not like myself because I was not very kind, patient, wise, and able to love well. With a clear mind and a focus on these things, I see growth every day.
Iâve heard it said, sobriety is easy but recovery is the real work.
Lots of rewards are still coming in small and beautiful ways.
Congratulations . For my years, I have bought AA chips. Living abroad, I canât get them from a meeting, so I get meaningful ones from a website. https://www.thetokenshop.com/Triplate-AA-Coins_c_24.html
Also, although I find not drinking pretty natural these days, working on my character defects is still very much a work in progress! I am still working hard to get some return on being happier, more peaceful, etc.
Congratulations on your two years. Today is mine. I donât go to meetings either, but give myself a chip each yearđ a self love thing.
Spent the day with my husband. Thankful for a restored marriage. Had a wonderful dinner. Just enjoyed my day being able to remember my dayđ I am so healthy and happy nowđ
