Support to you my snooz. My father died of cirrhosis which led to CHF at the tender age of 54. Leaving behind me, his only daughter, i was 17 years old.
You have a chance right now. Please, be brave, we are here for you.

I accidentally stumbled upon this thread and seeing the journey, the wisdoms shared and the love for you here has been so good. Then to find a post from you 1yr sober was the icing on the cake.
Congratulations on your year SnoozyQ

A big congratulations. I too stopped drinking a bit over a year ago.
Please keep stringing sober days onto the string of 365!

Thanks so much :-)
I truly believe I have kicked it this time for good.
If this post helps just one person, it will have been worth the struggle. & you are so right, the love & support from my so many friends here have helped. I would NEVER have been able to do it without SR
It's our safe place with no judgement xx

Snooz, I see so many people trying and failing to get sober so that it took you a while to make it stick gives me hope for those I see struggling on SR.
This will be your second set of holidays being continually sober. Did anything in particular help you?

Bek, I would say for sure that staying away from people who drink was my number one. Even family.
I checked in here In SR every day for support.
I had no alcohol in my house.
I declined all events where alcohol would be.
I changed my routine at peak drinking time and went for a walk with the dogs.
I had early dinners and early nights.
When I got a craving, I would ring someone as a distraction ( cravings last about 7 minutes ) if you can ride through that , it works.
When I felt like a drink , I ate instead ....this was AMAZING . It really helped.
Sometimes I even went to bed at 4 pm after and early dinner and watched Netflix.
I will NEVER drink again.
Waking up hangover free and clear headed is a great life.
My hangovers got so bad in the end , I seriously thought I would die during one.
I just wish I had woken up years earlier from putting myself through that hell.
No more anxiety, no stress, just a calm that comes with sobriety.

A reminder to myself of how far I have come in this last year .
Just had my latest blood test results and they are better than they have been for the past 20 years.
liver enzymes still elevated, but gradually coming down .
almost a year sober in November 23 .
Ive got it this time .
Thanks to everyone who has always supported me in here including my July 13 era .
natural sleep is bliss ;-)
