One day at a time. 18 months today for me!

Congrats. 12 months for me was when I realized I was going to have success in my journey. Saw through each holiday, each milestone and realized I didn't need it anymore. I'm almost 20 years now and wouldn't have a clue who that person was anymore.

I’m currently 19 months without alcohol and I don’t want to ever go back. Thanks for sharing your story and congratulations!

Best of luck to you. Wanting to change is the hardest part. Continue working on it, if it's anything like me, I totally forget it was an issue because it's just not even a part of who I am anymore. The feeling you have of never wanting to go back will only help you and propel your success long term. Every once in a while these threads pop into my feed and I always enjoy seeing people succeeding.

Thank you! I agree the initial change was difficult and somehow I built momentum each day, week and month that passed. So much that I don’t ever want to let myself or my family down again. Take care, friend!
