I made it one Year
I stopped drinking one year ago Monday. I feel so much better. I actually SLEEP at night, have money in the bank, and my anxiety is gone. I'm going to start back on physical fitness this coming week.
I drank heavily for almost 30 years. The last few years I would drink to the point of throwing up then drink more. It was that bad! If I can quit anybody can. Anybody reading this trying to sober up....just do it!

Congratulations!
Your story sounds much like mine.
Physical fitness is a great idea. I'm working out religiously. I feel so much better.
Isn't it nice to sleep? I passed out for forty years.
The benefits you reap will only get better.
More power to you, my friend. I'm on ten years sober and alcohol is SO out of my life it's just great. I wish the same for you.

Did it take awhile to get it to stick? What has helped the most?

I did rediscover my love of the outdoors. Hunting, fishing and just enjoying all that living out in a rural area has to offer. That might be it to.
