47 months tomorrow

I'm steadily moving towards four years. I would never in a million years have thought I could make it this far. I had one year of sobriety in 1996 as the longest prior to this. The difference is that now I want this for me and not for everyone else. It really is that simple. Before I promised the world that I was done but deep down I thought I could be sober for a while and then drink normally. Well, we all know how that turns out if you are an alcoholic. I began drinking at age 12. I was a full blown alcoholic by age 19. I binged drank for the rest of my life until four years ago. So all in all I drank 36 years with one year break in 96. What a miserable statistic. I have never felt better emotionally and physically as I do know. Yes, I have most of my prior problems before I got sober but the difference is how I am able to handle them and not resort to the pity pot and the bottle. Thanks for reading.
