Casey, way to go! You reached out here, got support and didn't drink. It doesn't get any better than that
I agree with what others have said. It's tough enough reaching out for help and then feeling rejected is the pits. You overcame and will be stronger for it. You tried a different way of dealing with cravings and that is a huge step on the road to living a good, solidly sober life.
Amp and Inc, congrats on your milestones!
Everyone, I am so impressed to see the incredible outpouring of support for one of our own! SR is a truly very special group of people.
