18 months is a serious accomplishment Snowy. Congats and thank you for your being present on SR.
Tough to see a friend suffering from something you were able to save yourself from. I know how my demons might use that to have me thinking about drinking again. Not that I ever would, nor will you. But I understand the conflict in your head, even if I'm not articulating it properly here.
A year and a half sober is something else. Nice work, as I know it's work, even if it's the good kind. Huge congrats. Thanks for sharing this post.
