Leb -15 months now

Hi everyone, Just popped in to let you know I am still here and feeling better every day. Still vigilant but pretty lucky as no real urge to drink at all. Fleeting thoughts about social drinking but then I remind myself that I have never had only one drink in my life.

No way I want to go back to making a fool of myself and then spend the next two days getting over the hangover. Then the depression and self hate again and again.

I get bored and unmotivated I sleep or read. At first I thought I was time wasting, but then I reminded myself of all the wasted hours and days lost in alcoholic fog and hangover.

I am so much happier in my own skin now. Thinking of you all especially new members. I read your posts to remind myself of the initial struggle. It keeps me centred. Kia kaha, Stay strong, Together we can do this

That is great! I hope to be where you are one day. I am only at 3 months but I am getting better. Your post is exactly what I feel. I don't want to go back to hangovers ever again. Thanks for the success story!👌
