16 months today
As tradition has it, I try to post on each monthly anniversary. Not to brag but to remind myself that I'm a non drinker nowadays. It's getting easier to not think about alcohol all the time. It is however a difficult time coming up. Holidays. Trying to remind myself why I quit. To all newcomers, hang in there. If I can do it anyone can. I had over 30 years of alcohol abuse and tried to quit at least a dozen times. I even had 12 months in 1996. What's different this time was that I wanted to quit. I was sick and tired of being sick and tired and no energy or no end to my anxiety. Are my worldly problems now all gone? Not by any stretch but it sure is a lot easier to deal with life on sober terms than in an alcohol infused haze.
