Sensational lynn50!!
Congratulations
What got me sober was TRYING to get sober. Often when I lapsed, picked up, drank, I FELT thoroughly beaten. I thought at that time "there is no hope for me"
Yet, when I had recovered from that thought just a little, I thought "I'll have another GO!" It was a few little sparks, rather than a flame, that got me here!

A big encouragement to me is hearing from many of you that the journey is marked with failing, hopelessness at times, recover a little, encouragement and determination trickles back in and we go at it again having learned something. It is encouraging because after falling down enough I begin to wonder if I am unusually screwed up. I know better but this kind of support is very helpful. It's hard going it alone.

OMG!!! That's Fantastic!! Good for you!! I hope you are proud of yourself for that!
I hear you, it is hard going alone. People need support and encouragement from family and friends. When you are lacking family, as I am, I look to my friends. They help me in ways I think they cannot imagine.
