Sharon, my dearest and best friend, my life is one hundred percent better having you in it. You are one of the most wonderful people I have ever had the opportunity to know. Fate brought me you, and it's such a beautiful thing that I will be eternally grateful for. I couldn't be more proud of what you've accomplished, both for you, and of you. You thumped me on the head once, and now many moons later, you share your life with me....your compassion, kindness, humor, loyalty, wisdom and love. You made it Sister!! You did it!! The big ONE YEAR!! omg, so awesome. I'm just in awe, of your accomplishment, and of just the person you are. I love you sister, Kat
Thanks to everyone who gave me congrats on my one year, especially my friends who have been thru this long journey with me. When I started in Recovery, I didn't go gracefully, I went crying and screaming all the way. Left fingernail scratchings on the walls, lol. And that wasn't cause I didn't need recovery and didn't need to quit the pills that had controlled my life. It was because of that stinking thinking of mine, that monkey on my shoulder shouting in my ears that I didn't need no f'n recovery, that I didn't need anything but those pills. So I made a bargain that I would try Recovery for 30 days. Well I tried it and liked it , lol. So I thought I would give it somemore time, maybe 90 days. Well at 90 days, I thought I knew everything and if you asked........heck you didn't even have to ask......I would tell you. Spilling forth everything that had worked for me and would work for you if you let it. So after 90 days, I couldn't quit, because I had Bob and Gina and Lisa and August (I love you all so much) fighting right along with me. What inspiration they gave me, especially August, he just wouldn't let me quit, even when I wanted to. Of course during this time, I was in an IOP recovery program, attending NA regularly and educating myself about the disease that I have that cannot be cured but can be managed. Around my six months of recovery I found 2 dear friends, (one who is like a sister to me)......Kat and Rus.
I found in them someone to cry with, laugh with...and we have done alot of that.......and to whom I could share my deepest secrets and fears. They have helped keep me sober, more than they could ever know. I love you guys more than I could ever express with words.
So I thought this day, this celebration of a year would be such a big deal, and in some aspects it was, but I realized that it was just another day sober and that I willl still have to take it one day at a time, because all I have is...Today.
Amy, you know I could never fight with you again, I love you too much, and you know that. You have become such a dear friend of mine and I thank God for you and for all of my friends.
God bless,

Great post. A year is great, but like you said, it's today we have to stay in. If we don't do what we have to for today, it's all over. I had two years once but that didn't keep me clean because the day I picked up I didn't do what I knew would have got me through that day. In fact the day 5 months before that I blew off my first meeting was when I lit the fuse. Time is nice but what we did before today isn't gonna keep us clean and or sober. If I do today what I did yesterday, I have a shot, but if I let my guard down today because I stayed clean yesterday I'll be right back where I started. You have really grown, it really shows, and I am relly happy for me! I'm happy for me because I have you in my corner.
Thanks again for your friendship......Take care.............God bless............Bob

Dear Sharon,
Sorry to be late, but a BIG HUG to you, my friend,. One year is so so awesome, and if there is anyone who deserves this it is you. You reached out to me and helped me through my ups and downs since I joined this board in August, never giving up on me and always giving me hope and love. You have helped so many others so unselfishly, Sharon and I truly respect you for that. You stood strong, even when times got tough and I know you've gotten a "rude awakening" recently - but that did not keep you down. You are such an inspriation and I am so very proud of you.
Thanks for being there, Sharon, and THANK YOU so much for being a true friend. God bless you.
Love ya girl,
Marie

You give me hope. Hope that one day I can have a year too. I'm so proud of you. You are a great person, caring and always there and I love ya very much. You really give me alot of hope and I hope your "higher" than a kite right now on what you've accomplished, because you deserve to be. (you know I don't mean drugs). I mean accomplishment, pride, love for yourself and others, honesty, the knowledge that you are loved by many and above all the knowledge that you are loved by God.
Love you,
