One year Sober
I have one year sober today; 365 24 hours in a row without a drink or a drug...I can't say that I am a poster child for sobriety; not as happy, joyous, and free as others seem to be; I am not, but the greatest gift in my life is that I get to live; be who I am, and work at becoming a person who can feel comfortable in my own skin. Someone once told me that the good news about sobriety is you get your feelings back, but the bad news is you get yours feeling back; I was so numb for so long that any feeling at all hurts; doesn't matter what it is; but I am grateful that I didn't resort to a permentat solution to a temporay problem, life is what you put into it, not what you can expect to get out. I would like to thank a great many people on this site; it has given me an outlet for the craziness in my head, my heart, and my soul...Thank you soo much!!!
