two years !
i can't belive how time flew by.
i passed the two year milestone a few days ago... so much has changed. but one thing is for sure, i really don't miss alcohol anymore.
not to say that i won't or can't slip.. the reality is that still having one drink will eventually lead to a disaster.
it has a become a lot easier to go for weeks without thinking about a drink or even considering where to go or what to do to avoid alcohol. it's just not a part of my life anymore.
it is, unfortunately, everywhere.. no doubt that's why recovery process is so hard. there is entirely too much temptation...
although it happens rarely anymore, i was just thinking about the "good ol' days", getting wasted for no reason, how it was so much fun back then. (i brushed it off as a passing thought).
as many before me said, "it does get easier" .. the longer you stay sober the more you realize how useless all this drinking was in the first place.
there is definitely a way out.. and the simple rule that got me through is "don't drink today".
i just wish to have resolve not to touch this horrible drug ever again for years to come.
all the best to everyone, if i could drink for 5 years every day and eventually put a decent stop to it, then you can too... i have no magic powers. and when i get addicted to anything... i do get addicted.
