Thank you all for the replies! They mean a lot.
Yes....I'm not out of the woods yet. Actually, I wonder if Ever will be? But at this point, if I drink, it's because I chose to.
I'n finding the hardest part now is continuing to apply the same amount of effort into my sobriety. I started getting lazy with many things. Ivan now back in track and have become "reborn" you might say.
Life without alcohol can be difficult if it's same life I lived with alcohol. What I'm trying to say is, it's more than just not drinking.
Today, I'm not drinking. And today, I am taking more steps forward with my life. Day by day, I am climbing out of this huge hole I dug for myself over the last few years.
Thanks again for the motivation to keep climbing!
