Its been a long ride so far, but I am 4 years sober from alcohol this month. Things just keep going and I feel so much better physically and mentally. I don't even recall what it was like to be drunk, which is funny because I was drunk all of the time. Feels good though.
Hugs from:

Thanks for this!

Congrats. I'm 10 months sober today. And I'm loving it.

Crying isn't a sign of weakness. It's a sign of having tried too hard to be strong for too long.
Thanks for this!
