its been some time...
HI Everyone!
Im still here and still "sober" from the A. Im coming up on one year at the end of this month. I wanted to check in with everyone and stay close because of this anniversary coming up. My anniversary of freedom. Im feeling good, I cant believe how far I have come. With the help of many here and a true friend I made here, Miss Stronger, girl, I couldnt have done it without all of you. To any newcomers...we say it gets easier, I didnt believe it at first either but it truly does. The pain subsides, the addiction weans and you become you again but better. Of course Im thinking about it alot this month but coming here helps so much. love to all!

Re: its been some time...
Hey Tanna!
You made me laugh when you said that you didn't believe us about it getting easier when you first came here.
That one is a hard one to believe, isn't it? Especially when you first find us, and things are at their lowest point, and seem the darkest.
But I am so grateful for you, and everyone here - that you do keep moving forward, that you do keep posting, that you come back and share your updates with us.
It DOES get easier. It DOES get better. We see that every day around here - and I thank you for being another voice that echoes that.
The one year thing is huge - and it may come with some triggers and the like. But, you've GOT this, sweet pea.
Hugs -
Kim

Re: its been some time...
Congratulations on your upcoming One Year Anniversary, Tanna!
You sound good, and I think you are smart to come here and stay close as it draws near.
You might experience some upset...maybe not. Maybe this sense of freedom you feel right now will carry you through and you will feel so dang happy it becomes a major cause of celebration with happy dancing!
We'll be here to celebrate with you either way. I've got my party dress, party hat, matching shoes and purse all picked out
((hugs))

OMG! Skydiving! You are sooooo brave. I've never had the desire, but you go girl!
That's one sure way to create a new memory for an anniversary!
Let us know how that goes.
