Happy new year to all those on this sober journey with me.
If you are new, and seeking, you can do this. It is not only worth it, it is amazing. The potential that come with giving up alcohol is unbelievable. And I know you don’t believe me…but read my blog, or others. It’s true!
For those who have been around a while, thank you. This community is a special and powerful force.
2016 was a really chaotic year for us, but we ended it wiser, full of gratitude for the love and support shown our community in our time of need and comfortable in our own home. Gifts.
It was also a year of huge opportunity. We travelled to over twenty concerts. Everything from slayer to Jennifer Lopez, Chris Cornell to disturbed. Each and every one was an experience amplified by the fact I was clear headed and engaged.
Every day we get a chance to begin again. Take this opportunity to make your life beautiful.
stillness and peace

Happy New Year Anne! Thats is very wide music taste you have there. Slayer and Jenifer Lopez are on opposite ends of the scale:) I love live music, something I want to be seeing more of this year. xxx
Ha ha. We are even going to see Garth brooks in February (my husband does not want to, but i had a country phase in my youth and Garth was it).
Love music sober is fabulous. And you can drive home.
I love country music (dad’s influence) The driving home is such a big plus. xxx
I love your blog and the positivity you spread x
Happy New Year to you my friend. You are a constant source of encouragement in this sober universe. I wish you all the best for 2017
Love to you Anne from The Sober Garden x
Happy New Year Anne! I’m ready for 2017 as 2016 ended kind of badly, in my opinion. I bet you are too. You showed lots of strength and courage in 2016, you made us all proud.

Thank you. I was ready for 2017, although the day started with a clogged toilet and a broken garage door!
Life is a funny thing!
Happy New Year! I think after reading about your 2016 that you can make it through just about anything (sober). Congratulations.

Hi Anne, I have followed your blog for awhile, but do not comment very often. I think reading AND commenting should be one of my sober tools and force me to stay in the game. I have been down this road of stopping and starting for a few years now. I made it to over 100 days on Belle’s challenge last year. Now I am trying again. I hope this time will be the last time. Thanks for all of your support.

Yes! Start a blog and we will all support you.
There is power in community!
Happy New Year Anne. Hope 2017 brings good health, happiness and peace.
Happy New Year Anne. I have found your your advice on blogs so reassuring, consistent and balanced. As I have gone through my own journey I have drawn support from your quiet strength.
Happy New Year Anne in your year of Santosha. I do hope this year is filled for you what you always send to us ‘Stilness and Peace”. Thank you for all your support over the past year, your words are always gratefully received.
Anne – wishing you a happy, and peaceful New Year. Thankyou so much for all your tireless support this year, you’re amazing! I really appreciate it. Red xx
Happy New Year, Anne!

Happy New Year and may 2017 bring more happiness and peace than 2016 (even though it was a good one for you)! We can always strive for more joy, more peace, and more sobriety! Hugs and thank you for being here for all of us, you are a huge inspiration to so many, especially me 🙂
happy new year and thank you for enriching and saving so many lives. i was listening to your 2016 bubble hour today with jean during my weekly long run and was so thankful for your voice in this community.
Happy New Year Anne and thank you so much for your support! It so good to know there are so many others out there sober and loving it!
Hi Anne! Reflecting on 2016, it seems like so much has happened, it’s hard to believe that it all fits into the story of one year. It is good to read your spirit of gratitude shining through this post. It’s centering. You are right – this community is very special. Peace to you!
I love you, keep doing what you are doing!
Happy New Year Anne😀Hope this one is more peaceful than 2016.More concerts and trips-no natural disasters!
