Amazing, i really look up to people like you, you all give me the strength and knowledge to keep going with my sobriety, congratulations on your 2 years and thank you for being here and for being a role model to me and others, my love to you
Wonderful share! Heartfelt congratulations! It really is great to be out of the vicious cycle of drinking. Yep, that first drink really is key. If it is hard to resist the first drink, that proves it will be even harder, if not impossible to resist the next.
Well said @Laraellelarissa
Your story about how you did it seems simulair to mine.
Congratulations with your years milestone!
You earned every day of it!
This was the first post I read today! Dang, there is so much wisdom in it Congratulations on 2 years, you are amazing
Holy Moly, this gif almost gave me a stroke from sensory overload!
I too love “there’s nothing a drink can’t make worse”. Course, you also know that I’m a big fan of “not drinking today, and probably not drinking tomorrow”.
Awww, this is so beautiful. Like you, this app has been my main sober tool. And today, this post is my pearl of wisdom, inspiring me to do better!! So well said. Thank you!!!
Congrats on your TWO YEARS!!!
Finding peace in this cycle is a life lesson I am still learning! And some days it is easier than others, just like you say.
Massive congratulations on your two years, so happy to share them with you!
I love this! Bravo to you!
Two years of getting better at getting better, each and every day! Some days it might not seem so, but if you start and end a day sober, you are better. One more in the “W” column on the old fight record!
Keep getting after it!
Who is that dude clapping? It looks like Kim

Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us @Laraellelarissa
You’ve described it beautifully, and spot on to my own experience. This place is amazing. I’m so grateful to be here. Sober life = our best life, for sure. Congratulations on 2yrs of sobriety
More congratulations to you…me i am on my 50 days but seems that gonna break there, could u share same other tools u used, how have u happen to control Friends , time…what have u done for thé moments u used to drink. With my 50 days , i m still alone and sometimes i m asking why all this anxiety and want to join thé team…
Hey John! There are lots of people here who know exactly what you are going thru. You’ll get a lot of replies with what they have done to get and stay sober.
For me, this community was key as well as my local AA and The Luckiest Club online. Community is key for me and many on this forum. Trying to get and stay sober alone is unnecessarily difficult. I also had a walking regimen outdoors with a good buddy, and tried to stay as active and social as I could in the early days as I had isolated myself the last to years of my drinking. I’m now 23 months sober. Never ever thought I could make it 50 days let alone almost two years. Re-engage with hobbies and activities you enjoy. There is tremendous freedom in being a non-drinker. Gratitude is key as well.
Hi John and welcome to the community. Congratulations on your 50 days! Each day sober is a day to celebrate! Regarding friends, I stayed with the ones that supported my sobriety and distanced myself from the ones that continued to drink excessively in front of me. I filled alone time with hobbies I had never tried before. And mostly I came here and read and learned and got involved.
You certainly have always taken your sobriety seriously and that has been a great example to others!
