Nearly 2 years

Hey friends, thought I'd do one of my sporadic updates. I'm not here regularly but I probably pop in to read once or twice a month. Just came back from a family visit with lots of alcohol so that's probably why I had an urge to come here.
so, in just a few days time, it'll be two years since my last day 1 (1st Jan 2020). I can't believe it, still.
It's been so weird getting sober during a pandemic, and if I'd known it was coming I'd probably not have started the journey but I'm so glad I did. I cant even imagine how much worse I'd have gotten.
It's been a long journey with my mental health and everything, but finally things feel a lot more even over the past few months. I'm in a really good place. I also quit smoking 11 months ago too which has helped a lot.
Im so looking forward to going into my 3rd sober year, and I can't wait to see what life brings next.

Two years sober is wonderful. Whatever you're doing, it must be right.

Excellent! I remember when you first showed up. I remember thinking, "This one is going to make it."

Back when I was in AA I noticed that around the holidays, people I had never met would show up and announce to the group that they had come home to be with family and then decided to find an AA meeting just to get away from the drinking for awhile. It's good to see you.

Good job and keep it up! These types of posts are always inspiring to me. I am almost at 8 months and also find it hard to believe I have made it this far as I have never quit for more than 3 months. Every time I think about drinking I think about the hangover and it just ends the thought right then and there. I guess I finally, at long last, got completely over making myself sick every damn day.
