Yesterday was nine years since I quit drinking.
This is one decision I never revisit. There is absolutely nothing in my life that could be Improved with booze
Nine years of continuous sobriety, living life with open eyes and a full heart. Nine years full of moments of deep beauty and some deep pain. I am thankful for both.
This blog gives me a glimpse back into those years. I am grateful for everyone who encouraged me to continue writing, and for those who write themselves. Together we change the world.
I hope(plan) to be here for 10 next year, with little Milo laying beside me.
Stillness and peace
Anne

Congratulations Anne! You are always so inspiring and I appreciate you staying here and sharing. Milo is absolutely adorable!
Congratulations on your nine years! And thank you for “This is one decision I never revisit.” Have a cool year and give Milo a little scratchie for me.
Well done! You have come so far and remain an inspiration to us all, Anne.
Congratulations Anne! You might remember me as tired of treading water but it’s been a while. I’m so happy to see that you’re still going strong. Milo is a real cutie!
I’m so glad Milo is better!
Hugs and love from me!
You continue to show us the way!
Thank you for sharing, Aine — I light a candle in honour of your deep work and commitment to life :-).
Thank you 🙏

Hi Anne, I’ve been meaning to comment here for a while. Congratulations!!! That’s so impressive that you’re at 9 years, such an accomplishment! I’m just closing in on year number one right now (15 days left!!) and I want to thank you for being such an inspiration and wonderful support. I hope to be where you are 8 years from now. xo
That is awesome. The first year is definitely the most challenging.
Just remember, sobriety is always the most self compassionate choice.
And Milo is SO adorable 🙂
Anne, 9 years wow. I echo the comments of everyone here. You are an inspiration and your sobriety helps anchor mine. X
Congratulations! 9 years is amazing! 🙂 Keep it up, and one day I will be there too (almost 5 months here).
Awesome!
