Hi!! You might remember from this thread a while back (Parental Abuse and AA) but I’m in AA and have been trying to get sober. As of last weekend, I finally have 1 year sober!!!

I didn't know if I could do it, because some days were so so hard. But I’m so grateful for the support I got in that last thread, since it helped me not give up on finding a sponsor who was right for me (and me and that first sponsor are chill now).

I also recently started my city’s first meeting for people of color so that we can have a space to support each other in our recovery!

Thank you so much, Heather! I can’t thank you enough <3

Congratulations on this astounding milestone! I am so glad that you feel supported here.
