CoalEater

15 1/2 months of being sober. I don't even think about a beer anymore, but every once in a long while a small and wimpy craving tries to rear it's head, but I laugh that off and keep going throughout my day.
I can see people with alcohol now, and I won't even bat an eyelash. Feels so good to do that.

That i so great to hear CoalEater! I can't believe how different I think now than I did when I first quit. I was one big mess. Life is so much more calm and I have peace and contentment now. Something I never had when I was drinking.

I don't think about the booze nearly as much as I use too, that is for sure. But it is still there and I'm always going to have to be careful not to become complacent.

Thanks coal I think these positive threads need to be heard by those who fear the sobriety will forever be filled with alcohol consumed thought.
Congrats on 15 & 1/2 months

Thanks everyone!
And, yes; things get MUCH better and easier.
Just keep going one day at a time. In my first few months, I didn't look in the future, I just plucked away one day at a time.
And then one day, you'll look up and say "Wow, a year already! I didn't even think about it for so long!"
