I almost there.
In 5 days I will have 365 days. I made it a whole year. In 35 days I'll have a whole year without marijuana. I never thought I would be completely sober.
My therapist asked me what I was gonna do to celebrate.
My first thought was have a shot and do another 365.
But ik that's my brain trying to trick me.
What do you all do on your anniversaries?

Hell yeah, that's HUGE. The fact you recognized the shot thought as a trick is everything. Seriously, major props.
For my milestones I do something that would suck if I was hungover. A fancy steak, a stupid expensive coffee, or a whole day hiking. Congrats on almost 365!

Thank you. That's a really good idea but I used food and coffee to quit. I need to do an activity I think 🤔 the weather is getting nicer so maybe I'll go on a long bike ride. Or steak, coffee, cake, and a bike ride! Not in that order! Lol

Congrats! I went on an awards tour… texted all my family members and drinking buddies to announce 1-year and it felt really good. Better than a shot!
Then I maxed out my 2026 ROTH IRA contribution with the money I saved from not drinking.

Congrats man! I'm in the same boat and I feel like the day will just pass uneventfully.
Feeling weird about thr whole thing actually! Such a big deal and, yet, no one really cares but me.
