Tuesday will be four weeks for me. I can't wait to say I'm at 8 months and counting. Don't let anyone around you discourage you or make you feel bad about your decision to end the progressive killing of yourself! I have anxiety and depression (as I'm sure most of you do) and it's been one of the reasons I kept going back to drinking. It's completely overwhelming at times and at this stage I still feel like crap, but I'm coming off of 14 years of heavy alcohol use. We will beat this, with or without the people we've known because if they're holding us back we do not need them! Don't stop going forward. One slip up (to me anyway) means you have to reset everything you've accomplished. May we continue our success and grow into the people we should have been before we decided to get into this nasty habit. Congrats on 8 months, that's a huge accomplishment!
