I have been sober for forty plus years, December 11, 1982. Ten years into my sobriety I realized I was suffering from complex PTSD I use AA and PATH, path2recovery.org, and Internal Family System (IFS) for my sobriety and CPTSD.
Good luck to all and take care of yourselves every day...it is a privilege to be alcohol & drug free,

Hi. Congrats on your length of sobriety. I, too, have PTSD. Probably had it since childhood as grew up with a mean alcoholic father who made my siblings and me miserable on a daily basis. I forgave him many years ago. However, I am left with a lifetime of PTSD symptoms. Overall, I have had a great life full of many types of journeys, been able to help many others and continue to do so. Tx for sharing path2recovery.org as I am going to contact it. Have a blessed day.
