Awww!! Thank you so much!!! That means SO much to me!!! And you are right on, I can and I will go above and beyond, I would like to believe I have learned my lesson, this time feels for ‘real’ verses last time I always felt like maybe at some point, some day maybe I would do it again… but not this time around. It just feels so much better and “right” in my head amd heart and in my day to day life to not drink. I’m dealing with a bit of crap right now and I have not thought about drinking one time. I know that it won’t help a damn thing anyway.

Today marks 3 years since my last drink.

I won’t go on and on and on. What I will do is relay a few pieces of my own experience:

  • Quitting is 100% worth it
  • It gets easier over time
  • I am incredibly grateful that in my mind, it has become a default mindset that the costs of drinking far outweigh any fabricated benefit that I can come up with. Drinking doesn’t cross my mind as an option under any circumstance. I am very lucky with that, but also remain vigilant in monitoring my thoughts.
  • Quitting drinking opened a lot of mental doors, specifically having the confidence to do what’s right for myself, even if others disapprove. As long as my actions and words are not intentionally hurtful or otherwise detrimental, their disapproval is their problem. BELIEVE IN YOURSELF. I spent 32 years never believing in myself, including my first ~2.5 years without drink. Never self-assured. I’ve only just begun this part in the last few months, but damn I have such an unwavering belief in my ability to do and get through anything.

“I always regret drinking. I have never regretted not drinking”

Anyhow.
Keep going, all of you.

This is great man, really happy to see this milestone for you.

I find this really encouraging. I’ve had the same problem so seeing that you have worked your way through it is great. I feel like I’ve made quite a bit if progress in this regard myself recently and if at three years I have the same faith in myself as you do now it would be a massive acheivement. Well done :+1:
