18 months sober and 1 yr w/o pot

I just wanted to post this here as a message of inspiration to those who are struggling to stay clean and sober.

IF I CAN DO THIS, SO CAN YOU!!

I started drinking and smoking pot when I was 18. While I gave up hard alcohol in my 20's, I continued drinking beer and ale until I was 54. 37 years of getting drunk and stoned EVERY day!

If you want to change your life, eliminate regret, stop the cycle of self destruction and find peace..... make up your mind to end the addiction cycle once and for all!!

DON'T wait till you have a life changing event (DUI, health issue's, fight, lost relationship, divorce or incarceration) to make the decision, DO IT NOW!!

Thank you for the encouragement! For those of us in the early days (I'm on day 11), it offers tangible hope.

Best,

Congratulations, You really are an inspiration.

I love that. It's simple and it works. I always look around for inspiration and I think that if they can do so can I.
