I drank hard for probably 35 years or so until I decided ENOUGH! SR Forum Folks are the ones who talked me off the cliff every time I was ready to give up! Thank You!!!
4 years and 10 months in and my LIFE IS SO MUCH BETTER than I ever thought possible. Drinking was a crutch that I thought I needed socially! Now I am just amazed that it was always just an EXCUSE to calm my fears, to blend in, to have fun. Don’t need it at all! I am more CONFIDENT than I ever was. Life is GREAT!
You will THANK YOURSELF LATER FOR WHAT YOU DO TODAY! Be STRONG, Live your BEST LIFE!
24 More is the Plan of the Day!!!!
Thank you Quitter, this is such a great post.
At 166 days (5 & a half months) with a persistently lurking AV, this was really great to read this morning.
Some days I feel like giving into that horrible little voice, but I have to keep reminding myself why I stopped drinking. After 35 years of drinking, since I was 15.
Drinking won’t solve my problems, it just creates more.
So here I am, and I’m committing to another 24 hours sober.
