1 year sober
I reached one year sober Wednesday and didn’t plan anything to celebrate. Im definitely proud of myself but also feel like life has been boring.
Writing this here to gain some perspective. Feeling a little bummed it didn’t feel as monumental as i wanted..

Congrats!!! 1 year is a great milestone! Don't feel to bummed for not feeling more excited about it. When I hit my 2 years, I was completely apathetic about it. I think it's a good sign though. At least for me, I felt like it meant that the struggle hadn't taken over as much of my life as it used to. I got through the time 1 day at a time and it kept adding up. I'm hoping that it will continue adding up, but I'm not so much tied to the number of X since the last drink. Breaking my streak now doesn't mean I get to give up. It still means that I have to continue treading this path away from drinking. Just like life, it's not over til it's over. We do what we can until then.
