What an amazing post you just made. So "right on" on many levels, and an inspiration for many of us to keep going. (I'm on day 276, not too far ahead of you.)
It was
this, however, that really stood out for me:

This described me to a "t". What was a once or twice a week drinking habit slowly evolved into a daily ritual that impacted EVERYTHING in my life. I didn't need a reason to drink anymore, I HAD to drink. And that was the point when I realized I truly was an addict.
Now in sobriety, I have nowhere to run, but to be present with what I'm experiencing in the moment, something I could never do when alcohol was a part of my life.
Thanks for sharing this with us today!
