My Journey

I've been looking forward to posting on this thread and now here I am!

I am 1 year sober today!!!
Here are a few of the things I've learned over the past year.

I am a good person,no matter how many times I've told myself I wasnt.
I can say No and the world won't come crumbling down.
I have a lot to offer.
My family loves me unconditionally,even when I wasn't so loveable.
I am a good friend.
I am a good sister.
I am a good Mother.
I am a good wife.

I see the world with open eyes and an open heart.
I have boundaries.
I have self respect and respect from others.
I have no more guilt and shame.
I trust myself and have trust back from those I have hurt.
I have gratitude for all that is helping me on this journey.

I am NOT a recovering alcoholic.
I am a NON Drinker.
I am Happy.
I am Me and I am O.K.

Thanks for reading...

You had a great journey, i can say Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.
