Two years sober today

Hello everybody

I hope everyone is keeping well and as sane as possible during these difficult times.

I am two years sober today, two years, l can't believe l am able to type that. To go from not being able to have more than three days under my belt to two years shocks me. l think l wanted to post for this more for myself than anything maybe just to see the words.

I am so happy that l am sober during everything that is happening right now and able to face everything instead of being that sad, lonely, drunk person hiding on the sofa. I couldn't imagine anything worse.

Anyway, l just wanted to pop by and remind anyone who is struggling that you can do it, you can stop drinking and you can have a better life, you just have to want it badly enough.

Good luck everyone and stay safe ❤️
Heli

Thank you Helianus. Two years is magnificent. Only a little over 4 months myself. Your post gave me courage and determination to continue. Thank you.

Brilliant job, Heli! 2 years is an awesome milestone. I think how terrible it would be facing this turmoil and uncertainty while drinking as well. Sobriety rocks. YOU rock!

Well done Helianthus, hope you enjoy many more sober years.
I *love* the positive stories and those who keep logging them here. So good to have a log of all the possibilities and paths open to us.
