so..., I wanted to let y'all know...
I'm 91 days clean!!

Yes, it is very exciting for me and yes, I still have more work to do and am not running off anywhere just yet.
I have learned many a thing over my time here on this forum and look forward to learning more.
I even got together the other night with some of the good friends that I have made while being on this forum.

I'd like to share about my experience of going through the 90 days and would love to answer questions, if you may have any. I'd also like to point out that it took me some time to get here. I have been on the forum for almost a full year and a half. I've had some pretty serious falls and some pretty good climbs. B"H, I am here today, 91 days clean and am praying and looking forward to remain sober each day, one day at a time.

Love to all and thank you all for being here,

Sturggle

Mazel Tov Sturggle!

Such a nonchalant announcement for such a huge accomplishment!
1 + 1 + 1 = 90 - you did it!

May this be just one of many goals reached, and hurdles overcome. May all your future growing be via smachos.

Sturggle, you have a very special soul. And we are fortunate to have you with us on this forum. Mazal tov on this milestone! Precicely BECAUSE it took so long, is what makes it so special and so precious. Where many others have long given up, you keep trying again and again. And that is what differentiates the winners from the losers at the end of the day  ;D


If you will share with us your story/what you learned/gained on GYE over the past 1.5 years  - I will share it bl"n in a chizuk e-mail to inspire others (just send me a Heads up).

We loved Sturggle before the 91 days, and we love him now, too. Many, many more healthy and geshmak days for you and all of us!

Dear yedidya aleph,

Your post was beautiful and thank you so much for putting that out there.

Do you have a thread of your own? I am no expert at forum customs, but this is Sturggle's thread (not that I have never hijacked threads wholesale!! But 'do as I say, not as I do'.... :).

I will PM you, OK?

Ciao!

that was a great post. your honesty, your desire to move forward from the difficult place you are in now,
setting specific ways to do so, reaching out, etc...

i sent you a pm, as im sure you have seen.

be well,

sturggle
