4 months today!

I have made it this far by the grace of God and the support of the lovely people on this site.
I cannot even recall the numerous fruitless attempts to quit drinking in the past. I had tried it all. This is the first time I could stay stopped and I am running with it.
Very happy to not have that constant mental obsession for when, how and where to drink. Not hiding bottles, not waking up hangover full of remorse, and guilt. No more abuse to my body.
In four months I have regained my dignity, my love of life, the feeling of being present in my daily affairs and above all I have found peace. A peace that alcohol could not provide and never will.
