Sober Anniversary Reflection

Not a victory lap — a written inventory of what changed, what didn't, what's next

TherapistAssist logo

For any milestone — 30 days, 90 days, a year, five. Not a victory lap; a written inventory of what changed, what didn't, and what recovery is asking of you now.

Milestone I'm marking
What my life looked like at Day 1
What it looks like now (honest — the hard parts too)
What I got wrong / what I'd tell early-me
What recovery is asking of me in this next chapter
Who I want to thank (and will, this week)

Anniversaries are not the finish line

They're a checkpoint. Take the picture, feel the feelings, then go to a meeting anyway.
