Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee' Today I Celebrate 9 years of Sobriety!! One day at a time. This is such a miracle and NONE of my doing!!!! If it wasn't for the Grace of God , I'd still be wondering around dead inside. I have so much to be grateful for, today, so much to be thankful for, today. I went up North , where I use to live and celebrated with my sponcees and friends, I was so overwhelmed at who showed up . The tears of joy i shed, for i know today these are TRUE friends!!! I had a friend who I have know for these 9 years ( who was the first man i brought home to meet my husband 'giggles') who spoke first and then I spoke. WOW, I have to rephrase that, God spoke through me!! tears dripped down my face, as i saw they dripped down others. The words that were spoken were of a person who found PEACE WITHIN herself,who found FORGIVNESS, ACCEPTANCE, HOPE, and who finally after some years even in this process found LOVE through accepting Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior.
2 The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; My God, my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. 3 I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised; So shall I be saved from my enemies.
4 The pangs of death surrounded me, And the floods of ungodliness made me afraid. 5 The sorrows of Sheol surrounded me; The snares of death confronted me. 6 In my distress I called upon the LORD, And cried out to my God; He heard my voice from His temple, And my cry came before Him, even to His ears. Psalm 18:2-8 NKJV
AMAZING!!! Each day I wake up I thank Him for saving me from the chains of addiction, for forgiving me and accepting me for who I am.
Thank you all for being here for me and helping me !!! You are all God's Gifts!! Have a Wonderful, Joyful, Blessed day!!! God Bless ♥Donna♥

She whom the Son sets free is free indeed! Yes, sista, God has set you free, and I am some glad, cause you have already been a tremendous blessing to me. Love you.
praising the Lord! Toasting with LIVING WATERS and singing along with you and yours
I was addicted to food... (thought about it all of the time, was loving myself with food, *instant gratification in times of need* before HE came along and replaced it with HIS abiding love) ... so I understand struggles and the need to take it a day at a time and why we can't judge another... addiction comes in many, many forms. TRULY... TRULY HE is the only One who can receive the glory!!!!!! TO GOD BE THE GLORY! 9 Years!!! Wonderful!!! thanks for allowing us to celebrate HIS goodness with you!
Wow! 9 yrs is something to be very proud of. I too am in recovery and just had 10 yrs. last Sept. Got sober at 18 and I still am. Praise God for his grace.
OHHHH... I too can't believe I missed this one... must have fried too many brain cells...
Congratulations... One day at a time. I framed my 1 year chip... that was from my 7 year sobriety spell...Hopefully this year I will celebrate..2 years again. See I quit following Jesus after I had 7 years... and I fell. But TGBTG...He picked me up, dusted me off and placed me back on solid ground.
