Good job? I was pretty excited to hit 2 years. Have you been white knuckling all this time?

Congrats, but sorry you're not happy about it. I had 2 years in February and loving life. Where were you 2 years ago? Life must be a tad better, huh?

2 years is fantastic. Be so proud.

Congrats! The hardest thing for me to understand after sobering up, was My future life depended on both thoughts of change and ways to help change become natural in and of itself with or without my permission!:) But the key was me being actively seeking change! And personally the beginning was Yes!! I am a person who cannot tolerate Alcohol and the mental gymnastics that go along with that (alcoholism)!

2 years is great.

I have a saying that 'without a bad day I wouldn't know how a good day feels' and that keeps me where I need to be.

For me, sobriety isn't always easy yet the peace of mind I get, the not living in drama, more than makes up for it.

So...would be good to hear more about why you feel you are just having to 'bare' it?

Peace to you :)

Good for you - I am sure it will get better, particularly if you have the right people in your life that are with you and supportive; although everyday will still have it;s ups and downs!

I understand. I wish I could leisurely enjoy alcohol, I am so jealous of those who can. Sobriety is my only option, and as of now I can only see one day at a time, but I pray for 2 years of sobriety....im on day 7. I envy you....

AWESOME! Countess. This is my sobriety BD month also. 7 July was 5 years for me. This has been a journey of struggle, frustration and disappointment. However mixed in all of that is peace, hope and serenity. I share with some friends that the steps, tradition nor the BB say we won't have unfortunate situations. What it does say and teach is we can find freedom from our disease. What I have learned from being in recovery is how to face life when it shows up without drinking. I can share that today this is not just something I have to do but something I want to do. Being happy, joyous and free is attainable. God be with.

Congrats countress!!!!! and congrats whozbop!!!

Congratulations on two years
.I found it necessary to have a defence against that first drink. I attend Alcoholics Anonymous meetings regularly. Along my path to sobriety I found that there was so much more to getting sober than just not drinking. With the help of my higher power and the fellowship that AA provided my life has never been better. I stayed no matter what . I got a sponsor and I worked the steps. It seems to have worked for me for the last 28 years. There is a solution.
