Almost 5 years

Days away from 5 years sober and it seems like a non event.
I want to say that's a good thing.
I remember 5 months being a big deal partially because it was a struggle to get there. I haven't struggled to avoid drinking in a long time now and beer commercials don't bug me like they used to do.
I like life a lot better now sober but .... I'm not sure how to put into words...am I supposed to be happier or something?
I could say that it's just another one day at a time day and not a milestone but I never really bought into one day at a time thing like some people do. I just said, I'm done and I'm going to make this work. Not that it was easy, especially at the 90 day mark or so.

Anyway, I said that I want to say that's a good thing. It is. It's a wonderful thing compared to drunkenness.
Maybe 5 years being a non event is a gift horse that doesn't need to show me the condition of its teeth.
Yep, I'm going with that.
Thanks for reading along with my self analysis.
Happy sobriety to you all!
