1 year drug free

I haven't counted days like I do with alcohol, but I've realized I have been drug free for 1 year after breaking a 10+ year habit. The last time I used I first got really drunk after a day of hitting the vodka bottle and then chasing it with red wine. Being that drunk was often a trigger, so I staggered to a convenience store and swigged 2 Red Bulls and then stopped at a bar to throw back another double vodka. I went to a sketchy after hours bar where I stood out like a sore thumb and bought a whack of pills. I ended up eating 6 or 7 within an hour and then somehow finding my way home. I have no idea what was in the pills but I just felt really weird and had mega anxiety. I was crippled with anxiety all the next day in addition to a massive hangover. When I could think straight I was so scared because I realized how lucky I was to be alive. The right mix of that many adulterated pills and I wouldn't be here today. This is one of the reasons I must have absolute life long abstinence from alcohol because I know if I get drunk ever again that I will be hell bent on using. I know this forum isn't for drugs, but the support that SR gives me for my alcoholism is a mainstay in making sure I never use again.
