Hi Everyone. I hit five years of continuous abstinence from my DOC (drug of choice) yesterday (Monday, 4/6/2020). My DOC is alcohol. Thank you everyone for helping me make SMART Recovery a solution for Alan. Thank you for helping keep me abstinent one day at a time!
:DE
Right on brother. Keep on keepin on.
Best always, Mike
Congratulations!!! 🎉🎈🎊
Five years is huge and you did it yourself by putting the hard work in there and being your own best friend. SMART gives you the toolbelt but you’re the one who used the tools the right way.
We never know whose lives we touch with our words — yours have helped me many times in meetings. You always offer up something that I can grab onto and use in my sobriety program. I hope that I am able to do the same for someone else which is part of why after 9+ years I keep coming back for more. The rest is the wonderful support this community offers. I was thinking about that this morning; what an amazing community we have here, with dedicated volunteers who keep everything going smoothly.
Wishing you continued success and the best possible things.
Thanks Mike and welcome back! h:)
Thank you Kristie! ;)
That's awesome Alan. You have done the work and it pays off. Thank you so much for sharing your success with us. People like you are proof that the tools work when we work them.
Congratulations! That is a HUGE milestone!
Great Job and It's so great to hear success stories. I am very proud of you.Quote:

Thankyou so much for all you do Sleepless and who you are! :br
You bring a lot of warmth, caring, and capability to this place :)
Well done you on a life more helpfully lived.
I hear that. Congrats. What works for to forecast the next 24 hours if I do pick up and it’s a dark place that I don’t want to see and the outcome is unpredictable like possibly waking up in jail. Thinking about the consequences works for me (so far).
thanks for reading.
Congratulations! Keep up the good work
Thank you. It’s tough but just take it minute by minute.
