4 months sober today and I feel 14 again! The last time I remember being able to have "fun" without alcohol and while I still face the pressures of everyday life that aren't always rainbows and lollipops at least I have control over my actions. I now realise that I've only really started "living" since I stopped drinking. There is no fun in waking up sore, sick, tired and embarrassed and not being able to remember all that awesome fun I was having last night! Waking up to greet Sunday morning and taking my dog for a walk and spending time with my family is far more fulfilling then sleeping the day away in bed trying to forget my embarrassing behaviour!

I just wanted to thank all of you for posting your stories and struggles on this public forum and helping me realise I'm not alone in this and being sober forever is actually possible and so very rewarding and all those at the beginning of your journey keep on going because it does get easier :ghug3
