Will be 1 year on the 1st Jan Ben and things in life in general have improved for the better in so many ways. I was a little dubious about the lead up to Xmas but in all honestly I just don't miss it anymore, because I feel so much better that I never want to go back to it, so its been good so far.
When you do stop it will take some getting used to for sure but you will, and in time it becomes less of an effort and more natural. Have you read any quit lit? I found it really helpful to understand the effects alcohol has on us and also to hear other people accounts of going sober.
