My 1yr will be Dec 16th this year. I can't wait. I ruined the holidays last yr for my wife. Not going to mention it to anyone; but I'll know. My loved ones are supportive of my decision but can't completely relate. How could they? Only other alcoholics truly understand. That's what makes SR so valuable I can hop on here anytime and read some posts and feel comfort from those who truly understand. We've fought all fought the same fight.
At nearly 6 months I am rejoicing in my sobriety. Feeling free breaking away from 30 yrs of stupidity. I have some minor temptations now but they are fleeting. Drinking equals depression and despair. I have joy for the little things in life again; not planning my next binge episode.
Stay strong brothers and sisters,
TC
