Like I'm Close To Something Real.

Jan 10, 2016 17:19

Today is my 6th anniversary sober. I have been drug free - drug compliant - for 6 years now.

I seem to say, every year on this day, that ‘this year has been the hardest’. As if every year is the hardest. Which I guess it is.

( Emotional waxing under the cut. )

anniversaries - celebrate!, sick n tired, drugs are bad mkay, my girls, friends 4evah, happy-face, family circus, real life, emotional waxing, hope is a 4 letter word too, sister oh sister

but I can. And every day I don’t, I remind myself that I didn’t.

I'm proud of you. Incredibly proud.

Thank you for the support. You can't know how much it means to me. <3

We've ever met in person but for what's it worth I think you are fantastic! You have tremendous courage and perseverance or else you would not have worked so hard on your addiction. I know it's been hard. I am proud to be a net friend! Bravo and kudos to you!

I believe the first post you ever commented on here was a post about my sobriety. So I think sometimes of the little things, like how without staying sober, you and I wouldn't be sitting here talking to each other right now. And that means so much to me, that friends like you give me the little moments I need. Thank you. <3

Way to go, babe! You are AWESOME!

Thank you. You can't understand, because I don't have the words - me, the writer that I am - for how much you have helped me in this fight. Sobriety may be an individual's struggle, but it is not an individual's fight because I have an army behind me and you are right there with me. I love you, babe! <3

I'm glad to be able to help in some small way, and I love you too.

It's been a long six years and a longer six months, but I'm still standing. You can't know, I can't express, how much your friendship and support has meant to me. Truly. Thank you. Thank you. <3

Thank you. It has now been 6 years, 1 month and 22 days. And I am still standing. <3
