9 years sober

When I first went to AA I thought alcohol was worth dying for. That was back in 2003, 20 years ago. I had a slip 9 years ago and drank. So that reset my sober date.

Anyone out there who is struggling with alcohol the one piece if advice I can give you, is that beating alcohol on your own is impossible once it’s taken hold.

You have to get help and it doesn’t have to be AA.

2 years for me next month. I didn’t need AA for my sobriety. I used EMDR instead.

Congratulations.

I have been drinking too much in the past, but the last few years I slowed down a lot and don’t have a drinking problem. Never the less I decided to quit drinking alltogether recently. Alcohol disrupts my sleep, and I am a insomniac, so this makes it well worth it to stop.

This is incredible. I am so in awe and inspired. I swear to you I was just sitting here on the edge of wanting to slip up and now I’m not wanting to. Thank you for your inspiration. And congratulations.

That’s pretty good news.

I’m not an alcoholic but since I search on the internet if it’s safe to mix my meds with alcohol even though alcohol doesn’t do me any good. I have a problem lol, so far haven’t drank anything and hope I don’t do.

That’s great @everhopeful and @labratmat.

Quite an achievement.

I was addicted to certain things and got rid of it recently. I would say close to 6 months I am sober and avoiding things I can to make myself happy.
