That's epic, FarToGo! Congrats! Obviously sobriety doesn't fix every problem in life but it does let us face the troubles head on, with all of our tools to bring to bear on them. Things keep on getting better. It's great that you have put those bad years behind you (I drank hard for 25 years before I decided to stop- it's never too late!).

It is, you are so right. Maybe drinking started as an escape, but so quickly became such a huge burden, as if life isn't challenging enough.

For what it's worth, I thought year 2 was a lot better than year 1. To be honest, I think year 2 just felt so good because year 1 was so hard. Year 3 has turned out pretty good and it's looking like year 4 might just be about the life of my dreams!!

I hope things start looking up for you soon.
Thank you, this is the beauty and strength of SR, there's lots of support and pats on the back (so much needed and appreciated). AND then there's always somebody to guide you to the path ahead. Well done on your years and lots of luck for the life of your dreams.

Thank you for your wisdom. It feels like a clearing / dealing with the consequences of poor decisions from the past, which has to be done. I'm giving myself the best chances now, no longer living with constant sabotage and old patterns.

Thank you so much everybody!
My lovely daughter bought me a "well done" card and a little retro alarm clock to mark the occasion. I am rich indeed.
