This won't mean crap to most of you

Congratulations!

Way to go Y.I may need some help with my sexual addiction but don't want cured.Lol. Sorry don't mean to make light of your great accomplishment. I tip my hat to you Y or something anyway to

Lady Y, I am so proud of you! I have a GREAT deal of respect for you too !

Thank all of you very much for all the sweet comments.
Like so many have said "its one day at a time", its been hard lately, for some reason when coming up on a birthday it gets hard. I have not had one drop of alcohol not even mouth wash with alcohol, that is was my demon... The other stuff was always decided by the people I was around and was easy to walk away from.
Muah all

If anyone feels they have a problem or a family member and don't know what to do please feel free to contact me, if I can help I will.

Y. Don't let birthdays get you down. Birthdays are good for you. Statistics show that the people who have the most birthdays, live the longest!

Y, congrats!! It gets easier, just had my 25th. A lot more meaningful than your belly button birthday.

An overwhelming round of applause and congratulations to you Y!
As you know, I have been at about the lowest point in my life of late and I turned to the demon with a vengeance in trying to deal with it. I dare say I shudder to think where I would have ended up if it weren’t for the counsel and indescribably wonderful help I received from both you and Sara.
To the end, I have been drink free for over a month now and I am feeling better day by day. Again thanks to two of the most fantastic women I shall ever have the pleasure to know. I owe you both a debt that can never be repaid!
So, once more, CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

Congrats to you you deserve them so much more than I. The first months are the hardest. Keep it up, you can do it. One day at a time hon.
Muah

It takes a strong person to make one day, but an even stronger one to make ten years. Congrats

Congrats. I know you've worked hard to keep yourself clean and happy.

But for me its a miracle.
I have 10 yrs clean and sober today!

Once a year I like to extend a hand out on the boards to everyone that thinks they may have a problem and would like to change.
Feel free to pm or call me if you need someone to talk to about getting help. Originally Posted by Ms.Lady Y

Wow, fantastic, way to go, Lady Y!

You chose..... wisely.

The only "program" I ever tried was for sex addiction. It didn't take.

It does mean a lot. I lost a very good friend of about 20 years, 1 year ago, tomorrow. He lost to the demons. He couldn't admit he had a problem but could admit that what ever happened he did it to himself. Little good it did his wife, children, grandchildren and friends.

Anyone with a problem that doesn't think it affects anyone but themselves needs to take a closer look. If you think you don't have anyone that cares it is because you pushed them away. Just another reason to be nice to everyone you meet because we all struggle with a problem bystanders know nothing about.

Keep Coming Back, It Works If You Work It...Sucks If You Don't!
