Congrats so far. That Friday 5pm Battle was a Great Victory!
When you're an alcoholic, you stay one, and that is why you can't drink, ...and probably will crave it for a very long time.
I'm almost at 2 years - 22 months and 20 days. And it is still part of me, part of who I am. I know why I don't drink, and I have it reminded to myself very often: as addiction goes, alcohol is so pervasively embedded in society that it keeps our resolve on its toes.
You seem fairly lucid, and you reached your conclusion all by yourself. Congrats on this too, I needed an addiction clinic to get to that point, and then meds to overcome it.
Life without alcohol is quieter, more serene. I miss the stuff of course, but life is just better now.
Nothing protects you but yourself. You know that and you seems to have a good grasp of it.
Enjoy your new life!









It's straight out of Hexbear so indeed Hell Yeah
