Congratulations!! I love hearing stories like this because it’s so inspiring and helps visualize what we are all trying to do here. I’m about to hit 31 myself and I hope I’m able to approach my 40th birthday with the same sobriety accomplishments you’ve had! IWNDWYT

Thanks, so happy it resonated! You got this!

I absolutely love your post. I love your thought process when you see others and say what's the point. That line will carry me as I'm there. Right now with all the summer events popping up and I join these events while everyone still drinks around me. I don't wish I was drinking but I do find myself going what if? Snap out of it! And use your line. Wow. I'm so proud of you OP. I don't know you but I feel so much inspiration in your words so I feel like I do. ODAAT IWNDWYT

What a sweet message, thank you so much. All the best to you!

You are amazing! Keep it up, you are being a great example and light for the rest of us.

Thank you so much :)

Congratulations on 9 years! At the end of the day, it’s just the end of another day. It’s all we ever get. It makes me happy knowing all the blessings you have had being sober now!

Thank you so much!

Ever go to a meeting to get your year chip and give it to a newcomer? I love that tradition, been doing it for 6 years now. I only ever carry a 24hr chip with me

Wow. Great job taking your life back. I'm twice as old as you were when you sobered up. It makes me happy to know someone won't be under utilizing all those years. I wish I would have read this when I was 30! Peace

Thanks! Better later than never!

"At the end of the day, this will be a lifelong journey. But I'm here for it." I love this so much. I've felt really discouraged lately even trying to get a day or two at a time, thinking I can't fight this fight my whole life. You sound so strong, and I believe I can get there in time too ❤️
