Congrats to Angel T.  on a year of sobriety! 

She wrote a pretty cool blog called "on the wagon". 

http://angelonthewagon.blogspot.com/2010/11/on-wagon.html

Lots of good stuff posted in there, I followed it most of the year and checked in just now to see if she made it to a year,  and she did.  Kudos for doing it yourself (not recommended)

One Year On the Wagon Complete

 
So today represents my one year anniversary of being on the wagon.

Last night I went out in West Hollywood with some friends. It was the same event as last year, the same crazy costumes.  There were significant differences though.  I was with people I trusted this year, who wouldn't let anything bad happen to me, nor I to them.  I was sober, so no creepy lurker was able to lure me into a vehicle.  I went out, frolicked, and had a blast with my friends.  Then I came home, took a shower, and went to bed.



I have learned so much from this past year about what I want from life, but more importantly who I want to be.  I am not perfect.  Far from it.  And that's okay.  I am trying to be a happy, healthy, good human being, and do what I love.  Every day.  That's all I can do, and I know in my heart that is enough.  I have made giant leaps in that direction. I have so many things to be grateful for, but MOST of all the incredible outpouring of love and support I have gotten from old friends, new friends, and blog friends.  I could never have made it all the way without the love and support you guys gave me.

Although I think I see what you mean Dean...reading her post it doesn't look like she did it alone at all.  She's had solid support while working "her" program.  Congradulations Angel T.   smile
