Talking 2 Years baby!!!

Thanks so much to everyone at SR - especially those of you who put time and effort into your posts, they have been the light in my darkest hours, along with my books, friends and family support.

Sorry I dont have a long inspirational 'story' to tell, I just compulsively drank for 10 years, had enough, didnt want to put faith in anything but myself, as I believe at the end of the day 'I f***ed it, i'll fix it'. I put down that final drink, and no matter what, I havent picked one up again. I call that willpower, but if you want to believe god was looking after me, thats fine too

Keep at sobriety people, it really is worth it

Thanks everyone, I have learnt so much from this place, especially patience and tolerance. Most importantly though, im learning to deal with my anger without lashing out at people. Before I say anything to anyone, I try to work out the basis of which im saying such a thing, is it out of fear or love? or do I just want to be heard etc.

Often, being supportive and kind seems harder than being sober!
