Welcome!
You have joined a great group.
I remeber when I joined 17 months ago. I was in a similar situation.
I have not picked up alcohol since joining.
I changed everything in my life, people, places and things.
I didn't go to the bar or club or show's (Until I was good within my sobriety), I didn't go to the liquor store. That made it easier to not consume it.
I came here a lot.
I read stories of those with a year plus, I read stories of relapse which scared me as I never wanted to feel the way you are currently feeling.
I have not been hungover in 17 months, I have not regretted a word or action I made, I can rest easy knowing my son is taken care of and I am able to drive at any given moment in the event of an emergency.
I am free, I am ME- The person I knew that was deep inside me but was too caught up in the drink and drama. I was lost for a long time. The longer sober time I have the better I feel, the more respect I have for myself and the more respect people have for me.
I wish you the best,
DC
