180 days ago, a lifetime it seems

So 180 days ago I decided to quit drinking. It was difficult and the hardest thing I have ever done. Well it's a way of life now. I no longer need it to handle social situations, I'm a butterfly now. I don't need alcohol after a tough day at work, I'm digging the chocolate soy milk instead. I've lost weight, better skin, wake up every day ready for life. This is truly a new life and a new chance at making up for all those nights of debauchery. Do I miss it? Honestly sometimes I do but this life just feels right now. The fight for sobriety is worth every minute. My life is on my terms now, not alcohol's

Redviper..some posts just speak to me sometimes, and yours certainly did. Thank you! I'm only at one month, and it is hard, and I do miss it sometimes. But, I like how said, "This life just feels right now". That's exactly how I feel. I can't worry about tomorrow and I know I like how my life is sober right now and will continue to fight to keep it that one. Congratulations on 6 months, you have inspired me

Strangely I have developed a love for chocolate and started drinking soy milk since the booze stopped. I will have to try the 2 together!

Good luck/ well done.
