How did you know?
Life constantly changes. People constantly change.
I have learned in AA to live one day at a time - sure you may think today that you are done with alcohol forever. I felt the same way in early sobriety.
I am now 18+ months sober and I know I can easily fall back into drinking if I don't continue to work my AA program and grow spiritually everyday.
Too many people say they are done forever but go back to drinking.
I am not saying this will happen to you - I hope you make it - but just don't get too comfortable in sobriety. We must always be on guard.
