Almost 2 years
I have been sober for almost 2 years now, and am back at college doing a Masters. Tough. I have a depressive illness as well that comes back to bite me now and again, which it did last week. I could do without this level of stress and hopelessness, I am not tempted to drink, but this does discourage me a lot. Regards to everyone.

It's great on difficult days is to look back and remember that I didn't drink. Many times in the beginning it's not an easy choice but it's a good feeling if we recall all the remember whens we did. BE WELL

Getting treatment for your depression?
I started graduate school after being sober for about three years. It was the best time of my life, which included doing a whole bunch of things I never did while I was drinking.

Congrats on your sober time! My depression bites me at times too....especially when stressed and graduate school does do that....but it is sooooooooo worth it! I achieved mine while I was still actively drinking and I know I would have done better sober. I admire your goals! Don't get too bogged down with your academics that you forget to take care of yourself....
