Early Roll Call!!!

I thought I'd do an early Roll Call due to New Year's coming up. I know that's a trigger for many so I thought this might help!! For newer members I post these usually the 1st of the month for everyone to post their clean time no matter how long it may be.

Everyone here is at different stages in their journey; some just starting out and some clean for years. For those just starting please know that it is tough in the beginning but does get easier and living clean is so worth the effort!! Yes we all must make changes in our lives to do this. The important thing to remember is that it can't be done alone. This website is great for support. Aftercare is a must however, I believe, especially in the beginning.

So let's set a record for posts this time guys!! I want to hear from everyone no matter what your clean time is-hours, days whatever. I'm at 1054 days and it's been a struggle recently but I'm hangin in there!! For those with longer clean times what helps you through the beginning? Stay strong everyone and congratulations on that clean time!!!!

135 days...I've recently re-discovered the pure joy I get from practicing yoga and I've also been taking long, cold walks in the woods with the pups--so thankful that I can take it day by day and stay sober- due in part to this wonderful site.
