| A gift from my friend, Brandi. Thank you! |
So today I am 6 years sober. Wow! 6 years! I can't believe it. Most days I feel like it has flown by, but I will be honest and say the past 6 months has made this journey feel much , much longer.
So today means a little more to me than past anniversaries. It's been a very difficult 6 months, but I managed to not have a drink through it, so that is saying something, right? I know I was having a difficult time the beginning of last year too but this year was much harder for me. I am still recovering from it and just like my sobriety, I am taking it one day at a time. It's the best I can do, and I'm great with that.
I'm patting myself on the back and giving myself a huge hug.
I think it's about time for my next Tiffany and Co. charm too. I haven't had one since year 2. Time to treat myself. :)
Having stayed sober for six years is an amazing milestone! I completely agree that reaching a significant mark of sobriety doesn't make the journey easier. I know it's been six straight years of extreme self-discipline and willpower, but I'm sure saying no to temptations doesn't become any easier. However, I'm more than certain that it means you are becoming stronger, and that your will and discipline to take a stand against everyday temptations continue to grow. Thanks for sharing that, Vanessa! Kudos and all the best to you! :)
