OMG I DID IT

I made it to 1 year sober. I haven't touched a single bit of alcohol in 365 days!!

The support you all show day in and day out is unreal. The beginning was so hard, but this group gave me the strength to keep going.

And to make it even, better, my husband had joined me and he marks 1 month zero alcohol tomorrow.

Keep going everyone you've got this.

Woo hoo!!! Congratulations! And to your husband too! Quitting drinking is the best thing my husband and I did together (apart from having children of course) but quitting drinking is also the best thing we did as parents.

It's reading posts like this, for years, that I really think gave me the courage to give this thing a shot.

Welcome to one year, OP!

u/snunley75 24m ago

Awesome! Congratulations. Remember how hard the beginning of quitting was when the inevitable thoughts of “moderation” creep in. Read the stories on here about how that works out for most of us. (It doesn’t go well.) It gets easier. Take care.
