Three years!!! Yes!!!
When I started with Smart recovery in February 2014 I went straight to the
success stories.I had just returned home from a 6 week treatment program.
I began to gather my arsenal of support.Reading these stories gave me hope.
I was excited and kinda freaked out to be on this journey.
Knowing I wasn't the only one was huge for me. I read the forums every day
and still read the success stories. They make me happy!
A lot has happened in 3 years.For one,I don't lie anymore.Really,I don't.
I laugh,a lot.
I enjoy the simple things.
Im not ashamed to talk about my drinking.
Im calm
Im happy
Im grateful and I don't take any of the hard work I've done for granted.
I ask for what I need
I have boundaries.(what an eye opener)What? I can say no? Really.
Anyhow for anyone reading this please know with the 3 p's ,patience,practice and persistence and a lot of hard work this can be done. I'm proof of that and so are a lot of folks in these forums.
All my best,Peg
Life is good,I am good.
My last drink was December 18 th,2013.

Congrats! I'm 1 year tomorrow!!! I really felt that part about having compassion for your trickster now, after the year-long argument with mine, I feel like I've firmly set the boundaries. I'll throw...
I did it!!
