Well done on 8 months sober Sober45, fantastic achievement!, I used to get so frustrated and annoyed, why can I not be like everyone else and be able to drink and control it? I am not everyone else, I am me and I had to choose what path I wanted to walk. Living a sober life is hard to begin with and does get easier, but not nearly as hard as living a drunk life. I have a lot of regrets in my life, if I carried on those regrets would just keep growing. Stick with it Sober45, it is worth it. Fill your life with walks, reading, spending time being kind to yourself, anything you enjoy. Enjoy and embrace each day sober.
