Over 40 years of drinking is enough for this lifetime

Indeed! Steps 1-3… I can’t. He can. Think I’ll let Him.

Learned that from a lady with 44 yrs in my old home group. It’s how she made sense of it in the beginning.

Glad to see you here. My last drink was August 16th 2024, a few days before my 36th birthday, and I also decided it’s time to really take my health more seriously. I’ve had many day ones in the past year but I’m feeling confident now. I have enjoyed the Sober Awkward podcast, it’s casual and gave me a few laughs when I needed them.

I’m glad I’m here. It feels like I have my very own AA group in my phone. Congratulations on your sobriety. I haven’t found it easy but I have no choice. :v:t2:

That’s great you are going back to college! It’s amazing what you can do with the time and energy you have from not being drunk or hangover. :purple_heart:

Over 40 years for me too. My doctor ran a set of tests to check my overall health and it came back that my body is seven years older than I am. I’ve always looked 5 to 10 years younger than I am and I was absolutely shocked that my body was aging faster than my face. So I started researching metabolic health and strength training. I’ve dropped 20 pounds since this summer I’m off all blood pressure meds and down half of my anxiety meds, I sure hope this trend continues. I pray to God for the strength and the motivation to stay sober and healthy in a world that glorifies drinking and gives us too many cheap, ultra processed choices.
