Kind words got me here, not harsh ones. So thanks to you who did not turn your back on me for being anxious, depressed. And for those who remained free of judgement. It means something to me, it is rare.

I would like to hear what is it like for everyone and how far are you in sobriety and what is your biggest challenge?

I am starting to feel a little less like an "alike" as in I don't feel so like a label and more like someone who just had/ has a difficult life and found a coping in alcohol.

Hardly the first to do that. I see with more clarity every day it is nobody's, nobody's place to judge me unless they have walked in my shoes. I dare say I even feel good about myself every now and then.

I've also been just plan tuning out whatever/ whoever upsets me. It works. I see it as my mental health matters more.
