12 Months Sober

Haven't been around for a while but thought I'd drop in. Still sober and doing well. I never thought I'd reach this point., but here I am. I don't miss alcohol. I still get the odd temptation to have a beer but I quickly remember the abuse I put myself through and it's enough to kill the temptation.

I recently lost an uncle to alcohol. He'd gone past the point of no return and had developed dementia as a result of the alcohol abuse.

While it is a somber thing to lose your uncle, you have done a remarkable thing for yourself and for those around you.

Massive congrats! Also your name resonates with me because I'd say I've been a drunk for 16 years. Seems like a good time to be retiring.

Awesome job!

I'm sorry for the loss of your uncle. It's really painful to watch someone we love die like that.

Keep going. Glad you shared.
