thread 1/4
On April 22 last year I reached out to this community because I was early in sobriety and my sister had suddenly passed. I felt lost and didn't know what to do or how to get through that without drinking.

Well, I am happy to say that today I am celebrating my 1 year of sobriety! 🧵

I know for sure that without the support of all the wonderful people here wrapping me in love and support at that time, I wouldn't have been able to make it this far.

Thank you, each and every one of you, who reached out to me that day.

I think about you often and wish you much joy and peace in your lives. And I want you to know, for when you have a bad day, because we all have them every once in a while, that there is a person in this world who is grateful for you every day. For your selfless kindness and support.

Congratulations on each and every day of your sobriety. My Dad began his daily journey with sobriety when I was 8. It saved our family despite warts and all. He died with his children at his bedside 43 years later and sponsored many along the way.
I wish the same for you and more 🕯️.

Thank you for your kind words and I'm sorry you have experience in this realm. I didn't mean to wait a year, I kind of just stayed off social media in general while I focused on healing. But today I felt the need to dip my toes back in and acknowledge the people who helped get me here. 🥳
