Happy 3 years sober to me 💖
It can feel weird going from celebrating every week, month and then the 1 year milestone in early sobriety, to then only celebrating subsequent year marks, so....
I'm about to be a year and four months sober! That's a year and a third! And I'm proud of myself!! I've learnt so much since early sobriety and I am so proud of my past self for having the courage to read and think those thoughts and make a big decision.
And if you're a very specific number sober... Like a year, seven months and a day... Or three years and a month.... Or eight years and eleven months... I am just as proud of you now as people should have been when you were a year sober!
Kinda proud of myself for this
I am 18 months sober today. 2025 is the second year I’ve been completely sober in and I’m really fucking proud. I know one day these milestones will feel less ‘important’ or whatever, but right now they are the boost I need. Last year was difficult for so many reasons, and I’m acutely aware that this year is going to have some big challenges for me. And yet I remain sober.
A few years back I asked my brother do you ever see a time where I tell you I’m never drinking again, and he very bluntly and assuredly said no. He could not. I still find myself explaining to friends or family members that this is a forever thing. But the fact I’ve done it for 18 months. The longest I’ve ever been sober since I was probably 12? This feels like an achievement. A big one at that.
This is just a lot of babbling, for me to say that I am so proud of what I’ve done. It’s been hard, there have been days or moments where I could have drunk, where drinking would have made everything easier in that moment. To be completely honest with you today has been one of them. And yet I didn’t. And that’s fucking awesome, if I do say so myself. Here’s to more milestones and a sober future 💖
2 years sober today and feeling pretty proud of myself 💖
Reached another milestone today 🎉
On a less depressing note, I hit this milestone today.
Taking a moment to indulge in a bit of self praise. Today marks 9 months of me being sober, the longest I have not drank since I was probably 13, and something that me a year ago never thought I would do. I remember asking my brother if he thought I would ever say I was never drinking again and he laughed so hard and said no, that would never happen.
I hope that soon I forget how long it’s been, but right now hitting these big milestones is what keeps me going on the harder days. Today is one of those harder days, but I have come so far and I am such a happier and healthier person than who I was before. I’m so thankful to my amazing friends who have been an invaluable support system, whether they know it or not.
So yeah. 9 months baby. I’m so proud of myself!
