Two years without a drink...

...and going strong!

Two years ago today I walked away from alcohol and all the terrible things it was doing to my mind, my body, my soul, my relationships, my finances, my future, my dignity, my self-respect, and my LIFE!

Best choice I ever made, sometimes I cannot believe I've made it this far and changed so much in the past two years but it's absolutely true and as always I have SR and it's members to thank for being exactly the type of support & information system that I needed to be successful.

I'm not here as much as in the beginning but I still lurk/read a lot, post a bit, and will hopefully always consider this a safe place that I can still go to share in my struggles and in my triumphs, such as this two year anniversary.

Awesome!

I was watching videos of James Hedfield a week or so ago...he was saying how sobriety is so much more interesting...that the drinking/drugging life was actually very predictable.....

Great job on your sobriety! 2 years is a big deal and I'm sure that number will only grow. It seems as if you have slayed the dragon.

This gives me strength that I will be there soon too.

I'm planning on doing just what you did - quit for good on the first try. There are quite a few people here on SR who've managed to pull it off, so I know it's more than possible. You're an inspiration, for everybody.

Thanks for letting us know.
