It was the first time in my life I really stood up to someone who gave me a hard time about changing my life! In the past I just kept quiet and let people razz me and joke and I told myself Iād just keep being sober and ignore them. Really what I learned is not standing up for myself allowed me to slip back into bad habits because I wasnāt taking a true stand. This time Iām taking a stand and Iām proud of it, Iām not ashamed and Iām not keeping quiet. This is my life and Iām fighting for it

That is some solid earned wisdom right there. Amazing stuff can happen when we believe in our selves and stand up for our selves. You have a lot to be proud of.

Thank you 
like Iāve said in other posts this is the first time Iāve really committed to sobriety, before Iād done it just as a justification to drink again and tell myself I didnāt have a problem. But now I want freedom I want a real, true, clean life and Iām not going to let anyone stand in my way!

Freedom is a huge benefit of sobriety. Anyone challenging you on not drinking probably has a problem with their alcohol consumption. It makes them uncomfortable to be around sober people.
We should be proud to be non-drinkers. We deserve better. Glad you are here.

You have no right to expect a reason why or need to know the reasons why. People are here to try and stay sober. They ask questions and look for advice and you are constantly giving smart amswers. Would turn a newcomer off this forum with your carry on.

Hey Sean, no reason to get all defensive. If we know more about what doesnāt work, we can steer them in a direction to something that fits their needs. The OP doesnāt have to respond and thatās why I dropped a link to numerous alternatives. Ease up there buddy.
