• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

I have had 3 years before but back in the 90s and never got the coin. This time I got it and now I'm working on my 4 year coin. It was a hard battle for me for years and I spent tons of money on beer and more beer until after almost 40 years of drinking, I ended up in the hospital with alcoholic gastritis.

While I was in the hospital they found out that I have Hep-C so I stopped drinking again for a while then started again until I got sick again. This went on for years until one day I said no more. That was 3 years and a few months ago. I prayed a lot that God would help me stop drinking and He did.:clap:

Congrats Bro! Keep coming back. I've got 30 years of sobriety mixed up with 10 years of serious drinking. Coming up on my first anniversary again. Not easy is it?

No, it's not easy I will agree. Congrats on your 1 year again.:thumbsup:
