Update: I finally hit 1 year! ☺️ / Update: next 100 in a row! / 100 days, 83% success rate? 🙄

This is fantastic and I can relate! I also felt a lot better and happier quickly when I got sober.

However, there is a reason benefit-based sobriety does not work long term. Life will happen. Shit will happen. Mental or physical illness may happen. Breakups, job loss, pet dying…
When the benefits are no longer shining brightly or you have a period of trouble in your life - will sobriety also go away?

Life on life’s terms, as they say in the rooms.

You have made a great start. Base your sobriety on working towards becoming self sufficient, content, that your needs are met. Sobriety alone will not make you happy and will not solve your problems or shortcomings. But it enables you to look after your self with full capacities, attention, sharpness of mind.

Good luck for your journey! :sparkles:
