Vicki595 is ONE YEAR clean!

[LeaAnn807]

That's 365 big, huge, enormous days!  I'm so proud of you, my little munchkin!  (For those of you who don't know why I call her munchkin, ask her how tall she is!)  

There was never a day when I thought you wouldn't make it this far!  Keeping me in line has probably been your hardest nursing job yet, huh? : )  Anyway, happy "one year" to my hero, rock star friend!!!  I hope you have many, many more!!!!

I love ya!

[mellie4]

Hey Vicki...a big congrads to one year clean...man I take one night off and miss everything
seriously though you have been such a help on this forum and you always give out great advise....there was your tooth ache night you where there for me..and I  can never thank you enough.your ausum you help make this forum the great place it is to come for help with addiction ....I consider you a friend
we joined medhelp around the same time....you walked away from one of the tufest drugs to quit...and  look at you go...I know there are many ways to do this aftercare is critical keeping that guard up is important but dont forget about Gods roll....he who the son sets free is free indeed ....I thank you for your prayers and pray that God blesses you abundantly...continue to enjoy your sobriety and live in it daily life is so much better without the pills your friend Mark  

[vicki595]

Pepper-  I see you celebrated one year yesterday!!!   I'm proud for you...

Denise- Yup...a milestone for sure!!  I NEVER thought I'd see it given my decades of abuse!  Thanks!

0421- Listen to me...You'll get there!  What are you doing for support?

[0421]

Congratulation Vicki, I think it is great, one whole year!
I can'tseem to make it more than one month.
Hope you have a GREAT day!!!!

[pepper1107]

Congratulations Vicki!

You deserve all the best.  You have been a wonderful supportive person even when someone does not know what they need.  Thank you, and again, Congrats!!!!

[narla]

Way to go Vicki!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1 year what a milestone,CONGRATULATIONS

[vicki595]

You guys!!    I'm laughing my a$$ off!!!    First, I thought my "big day" was tomorrow!!  That should tell you what I'm NOT thinking about!!   Thank goodness Tramahater knows what day it is...for a change!

I'm 5'1' and I never felt short until today!  And LEA ANN...I did lose those 10 pounds,you??

Seriously, thank you all for such kind remarks. If I ever helped you,believe me, it helped me,as well.  I'm very proud of what I've done (or not done) and today I feel wonderful!  But,please know, I'm not strong,wonderful,special, (maybe a rock star), anymore than each one of YOU.  We're in the trenches together.  My guard is always up (addict 3 and Sara) and I've had a lot of help getting to this point. Aftercare is HUGE (oh...I used to hate that word!) and so is the love of good friends...

Do something nice for myself today?   I agree.  I'm leaving now to buy some platform shoes(for daily wear) and 4" heels (for the rest of the time).  I'll post back after I've broken a
( not very long ) leg.  I wonder if it would heal faster because it's smaller???    What am I  thinking?  Even shoes won't make me tall!!     I guess I'll continue to rely on my big girl attitude!!

A big hug to all of you!

[Greatgreebo]

You are an inspiration!!! So proud of you.
I hope to be where you are very soon :-)

Stay strong,
Greatgreebo

Hey darlin just wanted to come say congrats...you've been such a sweetheart to me (and a good partner to bounce my frustrations off of ;-) ) and now that I know that I'm actually taller than someone (I'm 5'2") I like you even more hehe....big congrats, you should be SO proud of yourself. I know the physical side of what you must've gone through, but it's the mental battle that you fight that has my sincere admiration.

Here's to many more clean years...I'll toast to you with my coca-cola ;-)

[Kelz325]

Thanks for everything you do and Congrats!!!! Your an inspiration.

We represent the lollipop kids~~~LMAO!!

[LeaAnn807]

Here's how I found out Vicki is short..............

I was talking about a diet that I had gone on last summer.  And she said this.."I know.  I need to lose about ten pounds myself.  As short as I am, when I gain any weight I look like Buddha!"  OMG I will never forget that.  So.....instead of calling her my little Buddha, I call her munchkin!

See? : )  I think she's about 4'2" give or take a foot!!!!!!!!!!!!! LMAO

Sara, I'm not sure where all the little shorties come from.  I'm 5'6" and next to Vicki, I'm a giant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She's gonna KILL ME!

[Htownnofrown]

So happy for you! Keep fighting the good fight and keep helping others. You are a tremendous asset to the group and I'm very proud of you for your 1st sobriety bday!

[Dav125]

Smiles,,nothing but smiles...:). I'm having a tough time with a come back on that one..You got me speachless and scrambling here..:)

[dominosarah]

You know what they say......When your nose to nose your toes are in it, when your toes to toes your nose is in it!!  lol

[Dav125]

Platforms wouldn't even help with me over the years with what girlfriends I had. I don't know why, but most were in the 5'-4" range..They'd need a kitchen stool just to give me a big hug and a good look in the eye,,chuckle..Things didn't work out so well on the dance floor but the rest was a blast! :):) (btw, I'm 6'-6" without the shoes..Dad told me to grow up and I got confused :):)
