Yayyyy congratulations my beautiful friend. Wish you a great year ahead, you have a lot of adventures ahead. You’ve come a long way. You did it!!!
Thaaanks honeybunny 
Cograts. I’m very impressed you are taking everything seriously being that you have one year clean AND were diagnosed one year ago. I personally feel like getting one year is a huge acomplishment but I feel like people don’t get as much credit as they should for it. Anyways happy to ses that people that are using this forum And doing well.
Thank you, that means a lot. For me it’s a huge accomplishment, getting sober and out of denial. I sobered up on my own, without any help whatsoever, it was actually a huge thing, took a lot of strenght that I didn’t know I had.
I haven’t drank or smoked anything since Sept 27th 
This motivates me
Yeah! Really, you can do this. It’s easy actually 
Congratulations, and I don’t like to get serious on you but how did you get so wise? Was it just sobriety that makes you so smart? 
Congrats!!! I was just like you used all kinds of drugs everyday for years. I’m 6 months drug free and you are inspiring me to go further!!!
Well done Minnii and good luck 
Aw, thanks. I don’t know, probably sobriety helps yeah.
You can do this! The first months are the hardest, so you already went through that. I still get calls ocasionally to go to parties but I always say no, that’s hard too.
That’s the big thing. “Nothing changes if nothing changes,” as the saying goes. I’ve still got old friends trying to re-connect with me on Facebook over two decades later. I discreetly check to see if they’ve cleaned up and only one has so far. The rest belong to my old life and are blocked from contacting me a second time.
My partying days are over (unless hired to DJ).

Yeah my “friends” are all party people. Had to cut ties with lots of them… I went to only one concert this year to dance a little, but it was a friends band and the people I went with all knew that I didn’t drink or do drugs so they helped out and stayed mostly sober, was nice for a change.
Here’s the thing that sucks about Facebook: The people you left behind will find you again, and sometimes in the most embarrassing ways. Someone I used to party with discovered that I lived nearby and publicly inquired if I was “still dealing weed?” Just what you want parents of kids you coach to see on your timeline!
I was like, “I grew up over 20 years ago butthead, suggest you do the same.” That was followed by a massive Googling and pre-emptive blocking spree of damn near everyone I could remember from my twenties. Super embarrassing. Gawd.

That is amazing. Those first six months are like having to climb Everest 2x/day. Give yourself massive props. It may not feel like it, but you’re more than halfway to winning the battle now!

Damn, that’s harsh. You did the right thing…
On my facebook timeline I get swamped with “Drugs are good for you” posts, I block them all, and I’m also not affraid of “defriending” people. lol I hate facebook actually, but keeps me in touch with some true friends and there’s also a school group that I need there so I won’t quit it yet…
I got a call from a friend on new years eve, she was high on acid and wanted me to go pick her up I just said “Look, I’m in front of a fireplace reading a good book I really don’t want the hassle” Then sent her a picture of the fireplace. lol… Meh, ■■■■ 'em
You’re my idol. How you did it?

Well I just stayed home, at first had a lot of cravings for confort food but that passed when I started getting fatter lol It’s still hard but it’s getting easier. I thought it would be a lot harder actually. The not driking is the hardest, because is so socially accepted, and people look at you funny when you say you don’t drink, the rest just takes a lot of strenght to know that you just can’t.
Did you have any…physical withdrawals?
