3 years today!

Hey gang! Today is three years without polluting myself by drinking alcohol. There was a a time when I couldn't make it till 5 o'clock without a drink, and now here I am at 3 three years.

I thank God every single day.

I'm also infinitely grateful to SR and the members here who helped me when I needed the help. I couldn't have done it without this place.

Life's good.

Excellent! Always good to know what worked for someone. How did you do it (SR, Therapist, AA, church, other)? Thanks!

Congrats and thanks for checking in Wholesome. Don’t be a stranger, I’m sure you have learned a lot that could help others here on SR.

Hi AAPJ, I quit using SR and AVRT. I'd been "trying" for a long time before it finally stuck, and I'd been to AA, WFS, out patient rehab, read every book I could find on it, been a member here on SR for many years, had a few trial run Big Plans using AVRT.... I'm sure most people on here understand exactly what I'm talking about, just years of it.

Then three years ago today I came back to SR after being "out" drinking for a long time, and I was hating myself, and just so tired of it. I was ruining everything, just destroying my beautiful family, and myself, and at the time I wouldn't have said it, but today I think God put an angel in my path, in the form of Algorithm, he's gone now, but he was around because he was hurt bad from an accident by a drunk driver, and he used his time convalescing to reach out to strangers on here, and I was one of them, and I was finally able to make it stick, and I know for sure that I am going to my grave a non drinker. I'm getting so sentimental lately that now I've gone and made myself cry! SR is a beautiful place.
