I'm 1½ years sober. This is, without a doubt, the very best thing I have ever done with my life. I know I had it easier than many others, I didn't suffer any physical withdrawal and the psychological withdrawal wasn't awful.

Being alcohol free (not even wanting to take one single social drink) represents nothing but freedom for me. I feel free.

My biggest wish, is that others who suffer alcohol demons, can feel this freedom.

I get emotional about it, particularly considering I am losing my mother to this addiction.

My heart goes out to you all.
