The facts speak for themselves

I am almost one year sober. I went into sobriety kicking and screaming after two previous failed attempts. I was convinced that I had a better time drinking. I truely believed that I would be a total bore as a sober human being. I thought that being sober meant that all of my fun was over and that life would just be a drag. In my head I found every excuse under the sun to resist full sobriety. Never in a billion years did I expect any gain from being sober as all I could focus on was what I thought I was losing. Almost one year on from my last drink and I have never been happier. I go out dancing a lot and have so much energy and laughter. I have a much better time than my friends who are drinking! I have lost weight, been promoted at work and feel amazing. If someone had said that i would be writing these words a year ago I would never have believed them, never! I am loving my life sober!

It's hard to see ahead when we are so deep in our hell hole.

Glad you are doing so well. Thanks for sharing!
