Today marks the three year anniversary of the day I decided I needed some sort of support community in order to help me stay alcohol free. I had managed periods of a few months of abstinence but had always thought that perhaps I could moderate my drinking. Three years ago today I finally conceded that wasn’t ever likely for me.
A friend had told me of an app she used to track her quitting smoking first and then drinking, so I decided that might be an avenue to explore. I looked at a few and Sober Time seemed the best fit.
I’ve had to reset my timer twice in three years, both times after just a single evening’blip’ which I got right back from immediately thankfully. I’m currently at day 638 alcohol free. I don’t think it’s wrong of me to say to real life acquaintances that I’ve been alcohol free for 3 years as it’s broadly true, but I’m happy enough to share the details with all you guys because you all get it.
I really love this community and the support I’ve had over the years. You are all amazing!
And so are you Delia! Amazing growth in those three years here. Thanks for being here, thanks for sharing, and huge congrats on your success!
Congratulations, Delia. Thank you for sharing your accomplishment. Newbies like me need that It’s possible.
Congratulations on your 3 years!! We get it!! Amazing work!!!
That is awesome and congratulations! I thought the same thing; that I could moderate but seems to not work well. I snuck a shooter the other night and my wife found out. I value my marriage more than alcohol, so made the ultimate choice to stay sober. I’m proud of you.
Congrats on 3 years!! Lets have cake!
Happy TS soberversary and congrats on 3 years

Thanks for sharing your story. Keep up the good work.
Congratulations. So glad you are here. I too love this community and so happy I googled to find it.
Congratulations Delia! I’m getting close to three years myself. I’ve also had a few blips that served to steady my resolve. I’m so graceful to have made it this far.
I’m so happy that you did find this app. Grateful to be on this sobriety journey with you. Congratulations on your recovery time
