Today marks 2 years that I've been sober. Lord knows that some of the times haven't been easy, but I made it. I've taken the 2nd year to learn more about myself and really work on myself to be a better person. If you would have told me 3 years ago that I would be 2 years sober today, I would have laughed in your face.
I could go on and on, but I won't. I'm extremely proud of myself, I'm healthy, I'm much happier, and I've improved many areas of my life.
I hope you all have a great day.
Be well,
Josh

Josh,
I would give you a hearty handshake and a pat on the back if I was there with you. You should be proud of what you have accomplished. The Lord bless you on this day and my best wishes for a truly great day.

Josh, I am really happy for you! I have never suffered from any addiction or disease so it's hard for me "know" what you've gone through. I have had very close friends who have battled with these issues and some have gone to both extreme; it is so gratifying to see the ones who chose the productive way!

 What an accomplishment, also for your families benefit, I”ll use a phrase I hate but it’s so telling in your case WIN,WIN, you’re a good man that’s why you trimuphed. If there was a clapping emoji it would be here.

Having gone through much of what you went through...I offer my congratulations, too. You have become a fine man one whom your children can now look up to. Having met you and consider you a close friend...actually brother...I can say without reservation that you are a strong moral example of how many should act and be...always a pleasure to have you in my home a place I keep closely guarded against the forces of evil and degradation.
Because of your actions and manner...I trust you implicitly and completely and call you my brother.
Two years is a long time when you are on your face dragging yourself to the next day, clean and sober.

Congrats Josh. You're a good husband, father and also a MAN. Wish you many more great days.
P.S. Sorry I'm a day late. I had a bit of a mess to clean up yesterday and this is the first I've been on.
