First Year Anniversay

[ladylore]

Tomorrow (August 23rd), I celebrate my first year anniversary being clean and sober. It feels like the past year has been both 5 yrs and 5 months. So much has changed. I have an official celebration on Sunday but also wanted to let you all know too, as the forum has become important to me both personally and for my recovery.

I had a session with my psychiatrist yesterday. I am experiencing more depression lately then not; I was telling him I don't know what symptoms are because of the PTSD or the addiction. He smiled and said it is one in the same especially because of my abuse history.

I still have mood swings but my life is so much better these days since I have been clean. Anyways, I hope all of you are keeping well and staying gentle with yourselves. The journey for me has been worth it.

[Halo]

I am glad that you had a great celebration and most importantly that you got your compter fixed :yahoo:

Forgtremember, congratulations of 5 months. Thats a big step in and of itself. Very cool.

The only draw back was the day after. All my senses were hightened to the point where it was painful to my system even to talk on the phone. I haven't felt that kind of sensitivity for a couple months.

So basically I hibernated for a couple of days and now my hearing is just starting to calm down. Maybe its was the cake itself, I have no idea. But other then the after affects, the day was fantastic.
