18 months Alcohol free today (28th)

Hi guys,

I used to be a regular poster on here and still check in from time to time. A lot of my former travesties are documented on here so I guess the group is part of my history.

A lot of positives have happened over the last 18 months for sure, weight loss (5 stone-70lbs), finances have dramatically improved, got a good well paid job etc.

Theres obviously still work to be done as life has its own way of keeping your feet on the ground but overall my situation is a million times better by simply cutting out alcohol.

Have a great Sunday and if anyone is struggling I can promise that it’s worth it in the long run. If I can do it then anyone can do it

Bruno xx

Bruno,

Congrats on your clean life.

I posted a video yesterday about the stigma off quitting drinking.

Basically, it went like this...

quit smoking=well done.

quit drinking=you must be an alcoholic.

I don't know if I am an alcoholic, but I would rather treat myself like one and be wrong, than not treat myself like one and be wrong.

Sir Richard Burton once said...if I am not an alcoholic, I was very close to being one...he went on to say...the crave never goes away. It is a daily thing.

The av is still in the recesses of my mind and he is doing push ups.

Thanks.

Great post Bruno. Hearing that it’s all worth it helps me a lot. I have still yet to hear from someone that it wasn’t worth it!
