Just my opinion N2, but I think you likely deserve just as much credit for his sobriety, as he does, if not more.  Takes a lot, sometimes, to support and stand by your partner in this Alcohol recover journey.... Big adustment for both of you, one day at a time.:)


Me? Ide likely keep it simple--make a nice dinner--with candlelight, and just tell him "You love him"


Then again--Im a softy and a romantic.


If you want to buy him a new car--go ahead-hahaha.


Hey?  Congrats to both of you.  May you both, have many more days of happiness, love, and contentment, because of the AA way of life.   Phil.

I agree fully with Phil, the way to a mans heart is through his sternum.. sorry I mean stomach.


A good feed and lots of love. I know you will also have had a hard time over the last year. My partner Julie is one of the main people that has kept me sober.


Congratulations to both of you for your year of sobriety.


Best wishes.


Chris.

I would think just being with family, friends and his AA's would be enough.


 


Let me know how it goes..........Doll

One of my best friends had a 1 yr anniversary and was leaving immediately after for a trip to Alaska, so I put together an AA survival basket for him. It had a bag of chocolate, bottled water, a small book of AA reflections, a bag of trail mix(cause an AA group is like trail mix...a little fruity, lots of nuts, and tons of sweet stuff), and a key chain that had a Bible quote...so he could take God with him wherever he went.


It seemed to go over well.


Love cheri

All I can say no one did anything for me except standard AA--cards etc.


And you do something special everyday--you hung bye him.


your choice
