I suggest you pick one up each day for a week. This is not for you but for all the other people that are struggling. The minute you start helping you begin to break the reliance on alcohol.

Congrats and keep going.

Again, I laugh when I see your thread....dancing ponies.

Honestly, my 1st year sober...I was really bewildered and expected to see the whole police force at my anniversary to give me kudos.

That's when I learned that the accomplishment of me being sober...was really for ME...not for the community. I did also what 1is2many says...I got a chip every time I went to an AA meeting.

For me...it was like say F-U to alcohol.
So...at your 1 year...there will be no ponies...there may be balloons thou :) and close family and friends that are so very grateful you have remained sober...One day at a time. Keep going :)

You should be proud and keep going. It gets soooo much better

...I know you feel better. I bet you feel healthier.
Why don't you go out and buy yourself something nice, something that makes you happy. Clothes, jewelry?
...that $ you spent getting f'ed up, you can now reward yourself with whatever...

    I know this is stupid, but after not being able to find a job after graduation for almost two years, I ended up just taking an online teaching job because I couldn't find anything in my field. I was trying to get out of teaching and I feel so devastated. I felt this crushing feeling when I signed the paperwork and when I was in the meetings. I know that sounds so dramatic but it is how I felt. It...
