To my all brothers here on GYE I would like to invite you all to my celebration in 13 days for being 1 year clean.
would never had been able to do it without GYE.
P.S. the summer has officially begun and it’s definitely not as easy as winter requires much more work but it’s definitely worth it.
Congratulations and I hope you make it there and beyond! I really hope I too make it to a full year clean. Different times of the year have their own unique challenges. To go a year clean is going through all the different seasons and challenges a typical year presents itself and this can be very encouraging that I do have the ability to abstain winter summer sukkos pesach Chanukah Purim Memorial Day etc.. Not that every year presents the same challenges but at least the generic challenges that are unique for each time of year. I think there’s a gemara (or rashi’s explanation about a Gemara) somewhere about treifos if they live for 12 months it’s not a treifah. Because if it made it through all the seasons with the unique challenges of each season it can make it through more years. Less than 12 months there’s no guarantee it can withstand the challenges of the next season.
Mazel tov!
