One year clean from all drugs is amazing, you absolutely should celebrate that fact!
Do you have a problem with alcohol, are you trying to cut that out completely too?
Whatever the answer to that is one year free of drugs definitely deserves a celebration in my book

Hey 1 year off drugs is great and a big achievement! Which deserves definitely some celebration 
It ultimately does not matter what other people say or think about you. Only you can decide if you have a problem with alcohol or not. No one ever told me I’m an alcoholic but I know it myself! So I have to judge myself… Hope this helps a bit…

If YOU have no problem with your relationship with alcohol then continue doing what your doing it doesn’t matter what other people think, you are sober from your doc and that’s the important part here. If you want to drink occasionally and it’s not a problem for YOU then there is no problem your sobriety is what you want it to be

Are you working your steps with a sponsor ? X
Thanks!!! I appreciate it!!
No i just moved and dont have a sponsor here. I would like to get one. But all i do is work 5 or 6 days a week and try to get to church every Sunday. Its hard without a vehicle to get around bc i dont mess with the old crowd i used to. And i feel bad asking my roommate to run me here and there all the time…
Thanks again!!! Amd thanks for making me feel welcome!

Ok I understand that. If u work the steps with a sponsor you need to be completely soba … the whole idea of the 12 steps is to give up completely. But that doesn’t mean you can’t work the steps by yourself and get experience in working the programme. That’s just my thoughts on it … everyone is different if i met u at a meeting and u asked me to sponsor you I would cos your doc was drugs … but I know alot of people would say no … I was on espranor to help me get off heroin and lots of people would say I wasn’t clean cos I took meds … have u looked at the na work book ? That’s a great way to do the steps cos all the questions are written out for you through each step … I’m working through that myself without a sponsor x

Daughter (17) is getting her first job. She’s going for her interview today. So excited. I got rechargeable batteries for my photography equipment so I can continue to shoot photos. 
I can’t wait to upload I took today. To be continued
