the most important thing
Well, 75 days here and I've learned a lot. I learned a lot about the true nature of alcohol, thanks to Allen Carr's book, I've learned that most of America do not drink in excess although a lot drink. I learned there are a lot more sober people than I thought although what percentage of those are former alcoholics I don't know. I learned quitting drinking isn't just about it being hard to quit and wanting to drink, but that recovery from a poison is hard-- physically and mentally. I learned that you meet others who are going through the same thing and that helps immensely!
I have learned to not let people step on my anymore and that I need to guard my recovery like the Hope diamond....

Hi.
36 years here by working the program of AA and not having the idea at any time “I can have just one.”
Sobriety I found out is not something we can forget about in a month, year or anytime. It required me to work and change for it AND maintain it one day at a time in a row. This included doing things I didn’t want to but after doing them was greatly rewarded internally.
A biggie for me was acceptance even if I didn’t like it.
BE WELL
