Congratulations @SassyRocks on the 7 Years and each and every day going forward!
You saved your life… and in turn have helped so many others take steps to do the same for themselves…
Just your book reading list shows some of the commitment and diligence that you put into the process… add in the meetings, internet recovery… and so much else.
You clearly show it is not just going to fall out of the sky into your lap but needs to be sought after, wanted, and cared for and caressed while “doing the work”.
Celebrate your sober self and life!
Big hugs and congrats!

Thank you so much Mandi!! You know I appreciate you and think you hang the moon. 
There have been a lot of changes…but maybe my favorite one is that I don’t hate myself anymore…I am proud of myself…I love and respect myself. Okay, that’s more than one…but it all comes back to self love. I still have bouts of self doubt, self hate and feeling less than…I am human after all. But the day to day waking up with love in my heart for myself (not shame, guilt, regret)…it brings tears to my eyes still of how different I feel now. And that is all attributable to my sobriety.
Love you Mandi!!

Well, dear Sassy, I am humbled to be counted in the same company as you. I came to TS a few months after you and I love seeing the pillars of our community continue to shelter those who arrive beaten and bludgeoned and desperate and ashamed. And you’ve helped many of our long time members also, with your equanimity, your balance.
And here’s the mystery of this thing - why did this attempt stick? Like you, I had decades of false starts and wanting to want to quit and crushing consequences that I wrote off as merely the cost of doing business in order to keep drinking. What happened that day? In my case there was an out of body experience, but why did I have faith in that? Why did you have such faith in Talking Sober? It’s difficult, maybe not even possible, to explain. We can describe it to some extent, but to unpack it?
What we can do is carry forward that simple, beautiful message: Sobriety is possible and sobriety is the way to a better life than we could ever know. Thank you, thank you for all the services you have given back to our family. You are the best sister in sobriety I could ever hope to know.
