Hit the one-year mark today

For sobriety, that is. My last drink was half of a Four Loko on the night of 6/20/16, the night of my last hospital discharge. I poured the remainder of that Four Loko down the drain the next day, along with the rest of the alcohol I had in my apartment. I feel much better than I did when I was drinking. I kept trying to taper myself off, but that didn’t work for me; it took a hospital stay and having my withdrawals treated with Librium to get me to break free from it. That wasn’t the reason for the hospital stay, of course, but it was a nice bonus and I took advantage of it. :grin: Sure, I did have that little bit to drink that night, almost messed up my opportunity to quit, but that’s only because that drink was already in the fridge when I went into the hospital, and hell, I didn’t even drink the whole thing, didn’t want it. Feeling pretty good about this today. :slight_smile:
