2 years, 2 months, 2 days.

I just realised today that it's been almost 12 months since I've visited. 12 months where I've felt secure and stable in my sobriety to the point where I moved away from my only support network. Cravings are nothing more than a fleeting thought. I'm no longer feeling deprived. When I say "no thanks" to being offered a drink, I am finally ok with it and can say it with a genuine smile that raises no questions, rather than a grimace that gets me strange looks.
12 months since I last looked longingly into my local liquor store. Today I walked past it the same as I do every other day and noticed that it's closed down and boarded up.... When did that happen?

2 years, 2 months, 2 days.

Wow! Way to go! I'm glad you posted your progress. It's so nice to see that a feeling of ease can be ours the longer we go.

Congratulations!
