Hi everyone!

I’m back after a few years away from the app.

I’m almost 1 year sober (alcohol) and it’s almost 3 years since I had my last cigarette.

I stopped drinking for 6 months while we tried for a baby and obviously didn’t drink at all while pregnant. I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy in November 2022 (at the grand old age of 41.)

I didn’t drink again until February 2023 when I got on the plane from Taiwan to fly back to the UK to say my goodbyes to my dying mother.

My last alcoholic drink was on February 13th 2023 (just before I got back on the plane to Taiwan.)

My last cigarette was Feb 3rd 2021.

I’m back on here for accountability and to make new sober friends :heart:

Welcome back @Lexi_Liu

Congratulations on making this decision.

I understand the pains of loss all too well. I’m so sorry that you had to go through this. I just lost my brother yesterday after nearly two years of battling cancer.

It’s tough to say the least but I’m banking on my sobriety to get me through it this time. I don’t have any other choice.

If I can be of support in any way for your grief that you’re feeling I’d be more than happy. I lost myself to it when I lost my mom at 23.

May sunshine brighten your days and fill them with peace, calm, and hope.
