Massive congrats on 9 years, so inspiring! I’m 2 weeks off 1 year sober after pissing it up the wall on the relapse train in February 2024, after 10 months. Feels good (though admittedly quite scary) to be in the unprecedented waters of “longest time sober”. Thank you for all your lovely relatable writing, as always. 😌
Thanks ebony L! One year is amazing. I felt v weird tho as had tricked myself into getting sober by just committing to doing 1year so when that milestone came it was a bit of SHIT JUST GOT REAL awakening. Ten months is amazing too. Any stretch is an achievement in our society which has full blown trenches of Alcoholism enablement running all the way through it. And heavy advertising too. Those cold pint pictures used to kill me. And the cold pints too, being enjoyed in beer gardens all around me!
Keep going and I hope you find lots of good things as rewards for your efforts!
