51 months today
Well, here we are again, another month gone. Not much changing. It's kind of nice at this point in my sobriety to realize that I don't think much about alcohol anymore. I used to dwell on it, fantasize about it and generally stay obsessed with it. I have completely disengaged myself from the drinking scene, cut off the drinking buddies and just enjoy life on life's on term. Does this mean that all my problems are gone you may ask. No, far from it, however, it's a whole lot easier to deal with life when you are sober and not full of anxiety and despair when you are caught up in the bottle. If you are struggling right now, remember that you can do it. I drank for more than thirty years. I have four years sober and my life didn't really begin until I mentally decided that I wasn't going to be a slave to the bottle anymore. Have a good weekend everyone.
