Today is my 3 month anniversary of being sober. It is such a very small milestone - truly. I was at a meeting last night where the celebrant was 18 years sober. I am a newcomer - I am in very early sobriety. I have had many people tell me that 5 years is still early sobriety. And, honestly, it makes sense. I hear stories every day about people with many years sober who "go back out" (which is what many alcoholics call relapsing). Sobriety - whether it be early, middle, or late - can be a very tenuous thing.
I am, nonetheless, proud of my accomplishment. I cautiously look forward to many more months, weeks, years, and decades of celebrations.

Congratulations, Kris. I already wrote this in an email to you, but no reason other bloggers shouldn't read it too -- I've always admired you, long before you took on the task of getting sober. You've got that something-something that makes me know there are many more milestones to come....
