One year today!
It is one year today that I quit drinking. I want to thank God, my family, my friends and all the support I have gotten through this site. My counselor told me that it is quite an accomplishment to have done this without the help of A.A. She also told me that only 5% of people quit drinking for good.
I feel so lucky that I have reached this day. It has been a long year. And it was not that hard of a fight for me because I was so strong. I think by working in the bars and seeing how people get so drunk reaffirmed my commitment every week. For the most part I feel good. I still deal with anxiety every day but I have learned to cope with it. I have lost wieght and look good. I still don't sleep well but it has gotten better.
To those who are trying to quit or have just quit. Keep the faith. It does get better. Peace.

Way to go!!!
I don't pay much attention to statistics. I know a LOT of people with decades of sobriety/clean time and they've never been a part of the statistics. And if, by some small chance, the statistics ARE right...well I plan on being in that 5%.
Hugs and prayers!
