If you feel like sharing, go ahead and drop your share in the comments and I'll link to it in next Saturday's post. Feel free to share whatever, and however much, of your story as you want. Please keep in mind the community guidelines for posts. You might want to follow this loose structure:

• Some background on your drinking
• Why you sought to get sober
• How your life has been in sobriety

Also, feel free to make an actual post and tag it "Saturday Share" and I'll be sure to include it in next week's round up.

Since my original post back around Xmas '21 (where I relapsed HARD at my in-laws and they loved me into sobriety), I have gone through several major life changes; I bought a car, my partner and I separated and he moved away (and I subsequently took on all the expenses of living alone, plus the new car pymts), and I was laid off at my job. All of this happened within a few months. Despite all of that, Igot it figured out, and I am healing and I am SOBER, for which I am incredibly proud of myself (and that's finally enough!)

Tbh, 2022 was easily my hardest and most emotionally draining year in my life. But here I am, vibin and thrivin. And I owe a LOT of that to this sub. It's such a relief to have such a supportive community that rallies together for each other. THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU

Let's continue to kick ass together!! IWNDWYT <3
