I have been in the best relationship of my life for almost a year now with a beautiful man inside and out that treats me the way I should be treated.

I have got rid of numerous toxic friends.

Quitting alcohol was the best thing I ever did. Good luck to everyone that is on the same journey.

You can do it!!!!!

Just incredible. You are an inspiration to me. Thank you for posting.

Thank you all so much. I never realised the potential in me while I was drinking. Once I quit it, I became who I was always meant to be.

I got so much wonderful support here when I started out. I remember reading of people who had reached a year sober and I was in awe. I was grateful for my first week.

We owe it to ourselves to realise our full potential. That is not possible when drinking.

Stay strong, friends.

I love this, Sunny. And at almost 2 years sober, I can really relate to it.

Thank you for such an inspirational achievement and many, many congratulations. I hope you're truly proud

What a lovely post. Thank you.

Every day I am happy I no longer drink. It had totally taken over my life. When anyone drinks to excess, it changes so many things.

Being free of it has allowed me to be who I was meant to be. I wake up grateful for every day and what it may bring, instead of waking up with regrets.

There is no comparison. A sober life is the best life and we all owe ourselves the best life we can have.

Best wishes all. I came here unsure I could do it - and I did it. We all can do it if we really want to. And that is the key. You have to really WANT it.

xx
