Today marks 1 year no alcohol.
I have not been on this app in a few months, however that does not mean i dont remember how important this community was when i first quit drinking one year ago.
I remember the first 4 months every night, logging on and hearing everyone’s stories and commenting. The beginning of sobriety i was very fragile and this place was a great outlet to reinforce my convictions to make a change.
I am down 50 pounds. I have succeeded in my career in a much more profound way. I still have many relationships to mend and other things i feel like i need to change (smokings cigs), but i am not to hard on my myself just yet.
The last year was a wild journey and going from drinking half a gallon plus of liqueur a day to just being at a bar socializing with a diet coke is an awesome achievement.
Who i am hasn’t really changed but who i want to become is now possible. I am no longer bringing myself down with hangovers and awful decisions or angry comments to the ones i love.
Onwards and upwards.
Thanks you all,
Grant
