Congratulations!
For me, the biggest secret is time. Whilst I was an active addict, I honestly thought that sober people had to fight every day and that my entire life would be a battle with alcohol. But it's not true, you can simply walk away and refuse to fight anymore.
Just had to copy this for my journal as I agree so much! I thought I’d be fighting it every day but almost 7 months now and I’m not fighting, I’m at peace... ODAAT XXX

Inspiring Post
What an inspirational post! Thank you for sharing. I will keep this post in mind as I begin my sober journey today. I have failed many times in the past because I felt overwhelmed by the idea that I would be fighting my addiction everyday for the rest of my life. I love the idea of just letting go and walking away from the fight and just simply accepting that I can no longer drink.

So so true.
And so so happy for you.
