An anniversary
I have come here today, because it's my sober anniversary.
Without doubt, stopping drinking was the best decision I have ever made in my life.
I remember coming here wondering if I could make it a few days. I remember well the fear I would not be able to stay off the wine. But the fear my drinking would kill me was greater.
Thanks to this community, I was able to stay on track. And now here I am. Today I am six years without a drink.
I'm beyond blessed. Never give up. You can do this.
Happy New Year everyone.

Thanks all 
I think we all come here with a mixture of hope and trepidation. What helped me in the early days was a documentary on YouTube called Rain in my heart. I watched it over and over till it sunk in: if I continue to drink, my life will not get better and I may die. Harsh but true.
One day at a time. It's doable x

I sometimes think I'd like a drink, but I know it's not worth it. I tried a few times to quit but was determined the last time.
One day at a time was my mantra. After a few months I wasn't thinking about alcohol all the time. I knew then I was over the worst
My posts are on here from my first day

Thanks everyone. This site was my savior in the early 6 months and beyond. I'm thrilled to be able to come back with years of sobriety under my belt.
