250 days without booze

Hi, all - just another touching base to share that today is 250 days without alcohol. After 41 years of consistent drinking, I finally have been able to stop. I’ve even gotten a friend to stop for the last month and he feels great, too. I just recently started reading again (I used to read a book per week) and am finding interest in many other aspects of life again, but it took 8+ months before these things really kicked in.
Trust me, if I can do it, YOU CAN DO IT. Stick with it and life will open up when you let it.
Best to all!

I hear you. Me, too. Waiting for my brain to be fully developed prior to poisoning it would have been a better plan. Young and stupid. But I’m still here on this earth …
