Two years
 
I hit the two-year mark of being alcohol-free in April. I don't miss the drink. When I made up my mind that I truly wanted to be alcohol-free, it wasn't hard to accomplish. But getting my mind fully made up was the hard part, and there were several false starts (or false stops, I guess) during that time of not being fully committed to stopping. Not saying this is how it is for everyone, only myself. All it took was the full commitment.

I can echo that sentiment...

Stopping for a while or stopping for a period of time or stopping till you sort of think it should be okay to drink again makes for a hard row to hoe.

When I was able to fully commit to "never", things got very easy for me.

Congratulations on the 2 years! Really well done!

Congratulations on two years!! I like your term "alcohol-free" instead of stop drinking. I wonder if the psyche gets upset thinking one is not going to drink again... even water... so it rebels and messes you up ... errr ... messes me up. Anyway, I am going to start believing I am alcohol free instead of "not drinking" ... semantics, semantics, semantics.
