1 YEAR

Today is my 1 year sober birthday !! I am sooo excited I made it to the BIG one . This has been one hell of a year with alot of ups and downs and ins and outs . I have been doing alot of looking back and I have absolutely no regrets , things happen for a reason and people whom are meant to be in your life are there because they belong there .
I have been on my own for a while now no relationship so glad the last two ended because neither guy was for me and I am happy I realized it and got out when I did . The real work now begins in my sobriety I have been coasting by but I need to start doing the work in my program the way it is meant to be worked. I have many goals I would like to start reaching but I have to do them one at a time to ensure they are accomplished.
My Anniversary celebration is Thursday night and I am expecting alot of people my mom will be there as well as one of my brothers and one of my sisters as well as my children . I have alot of friends in the rooms and it will be wonderful to have my family and my AA family out there supporting me on this very special evening .
Things in my life have been good recently I have been happy on my own , despite the struggles I am grateful for all I do have and I work darn hard to have what I have . This past year has been a huge learning experience for me and I have a long way to go, I asked a friend of mine last week how much time he has and he told me he is going on 13 years and he wished that the first 5 years were better quality than quantity and it was then that I truly realized that that's what I wanted . I want quality clean time not quantity , quality is sooo much more important and that is my top goal .
