It has been hard. I've had cravings, stress, grief, that all tested my sobriety. But you know, you can do things you never thought possible, and you can do them sober. I have managed to surprise myself time and time again.

And no, one year is not a destination. Neither is 24. There's always more to come and more to learn. I'm continually grateful for that. But what I'm mostly grateful for is that I am no longer mired in a life of alcohol. What amazes me now is NOT that I'm sober, but that I actually spent years of my life punishing myself with alcohol for little or no reason. All I did was feed my craving with only negative consequences to show for it.
And by the way, congratulations on one year, a really big year.

Congratulations on a year sober dpac, fantastic! Even better that you got sober at a young age too, you will get more benefits from sobriety than most by quitting while you are still young. Hats off too you because although you will have been addicted to alcohol for less time than some it must be harder socially when you are a young person, you probably face more temptations than I do.
