I was sober for most of 2009. Still kept beer in the house for friends, just had no desire to drink (thanks to my "Higher Power"). Thought for sure I was cured after close to a year and tested myself by drinking one beer.
I was soon back to 10+ per day along with all the depression and anxiety that daily hangovers bring.
On March 21 of this year I decided I had enough. My "Higher Power" helped me once more. I've been sober 98 days today.
Just starting to feel alive again. I know all it will take is one drink to throw away my progress. No way I'm gonna take a chance.
Good Luck on your Day One.
