The only person who reached out to wish me a happy “soberversary” besides my group chat (where one friend remembers and the rest likely jump on board) was my brother in law. I f*****g love him. He’s such a caring and special human.

This was year 7 and I moved into the house I closed on a week prior. This was a big one. I’ve gotten a masters, met my now wife, bought my car outright, moved across the country, rescued a dog and now closed on a house. The odds of achieving this “normal” life were damn near 0.

He’ll always reach out to tell me he’s proud of me and it’s just so appreciated. Thanks Phil.

Not a relationship but my group of friends. I had been in a bad relationship for a couple of years, she was very abusive. I finally cut it off and she lots her mind and got really physical. EVERY SINGLE one of my friends (6 guys) left work rented a moving truck, moved me out and let me crash on their couch while I figured things out. There was only love and support from them and I would not have made it without them.

When I tried to give them money or buy pizza as a thank you they told me that all they cared about was that I was safe now. I love all those guys like family.
