I'm really excited. Today, Sun. the 26, is 9 months sober for me. This is the longest I've made it in at least 5 years, if not longer.

And I'm feeling good. I'm enjoying sobriety. I still get occasional thoughts of drinking, and the odd really bad craving, but I'm able to dismiss both really easily by thinking the drink through to the end.

I'm really excited that in 3 months, one day at a time, I'll have a year sober, because I want to get a tattoo with my sobriety date on my arm.

I was a really bad alcoholic, drinking a 26'er of whiskey a day when I'd relapse, so if I can get sober, anybody can. Just don't give up and get as much IRL support as you can.
