welcome Done! you'll find plenty of people with different stories here to keep you interested - and hopefully this time - Sober for good
Out of curiosity - 2.5 years is a good chunk of change... how did you do it the first time, and what made you stop?

Jesse, this is a wonderful place that helped me get sober after a lifetime of drinking. I know what you mean about relapsing - it's so easy to fall back on our old 'friend' when times get tough. I couldn't continue to do that, & had to find a new way to live, or I'd die.
Congratulations on wanting a new and better life for yourself - you've made a great decision, & I know it's not easy at a young age. Let us know how it's going for you.
