Title! Itll be a year this November. Should I celebrate? I’m tempted to get a cake and celebrate it since it is such a big accomplishment for me.

It’s been rough as hell but I’m getting there

Congrats!! What a wonderful achievement! Why stop at cake? I say, buy yourself a small gift as a lasting reminder to yourself of what you accomplished.

Enjoy the day and I wish you continued success. 🥳 🎂
