Congratulations I’m so happy for you I can’t imagine the feelings your feeling right now. I bet you feel like you conquer the world right now. But the bottom line is you know 1 year clean is the biggest hurdle to overcome and accomplish but you did it. Now don’t stop keep going and along the way don’t forget to help others that having a hard time to reach the level your on

Although, I think one year is a great accomplishment, in the bigger scheme of things, it’s really not. This is a forever type of thing. But I would like to start a thread with little tips that everyone shares on things that help them get through the first year. And I am so grateful to everyone on here, there were quite a few times where people talk to me off the ledge.

Congratulations!!! It will be my 1 year on June13th… I can relate to you saying its the difference between heaven and hell… also wishing you would have tried 10 yrs ago. I was talking to a sober friend recently, and said something to that effect, he said, “yea, but you probably wasnt ready…” I said “yea, I was still having fun” 10 yrs ago although still out of control, I had drinking buddies, and hadnt brought my marriage to the brink of divorce. I was sitting in the garage every night getting loaded, and at the time, that was fun for me. Looking back now I realize it was just the beginning of the end. With hindsight vision, I still wouldn’t have done it any other way. I had to hit my rock bottom version of hell to get here. Im glad you’ve come this far and see the light too bro, keep it up :100:

This is a great way of explaining the feeling!!

It is a great idea for a thread…this is an active one on the tip topic, but asks for 2 years sober…maybe a new thread of tips from those celebrating a year? Idk…we can always use more tips for sobriety!!
It is a great idea for a thread…and we have several of them like that…here is a popular one you can add to if you want…

I was thinking about calling it the toolbox. Where everyone just leaves a short tip of something that help them. We have so much in common, but then again, we all have different circumstances. I thought if everybody left one chip, everybody can come grab a tip that helps.
