Showing Original Post only (View all)Today I observe, but not celebrate a special anniversary. [View all]
As of today, January 14, 2019, I have been sober for 29 years.
If you're actively abusing substances, the most important day of your recovery is today. The only difference between you and I is that I have a whole bunch of one day at a times under my belt. If I go out and get drunk tomorrow, than I'm back to zero.
If you're afraid of entering into recovery though, please believe that you CAN get here from there.
Hang in there, and thank you for reading.
RESIST!

I've had enough people tell me, "It's been a while" that I know exactly how impressive 29 years is.
