Hello again! I am migrating from Reddit and just wanted to make a note here to keep track of my days.

Take care, stay safe and I will not drink with you today!

Closing up on a year! That’s very impressive!

My perception of time has change a ton over the last year, for sure. I used to drink to forget and the time literally just disappeared.

In the most positive way possible, this has actually been the longest year I can ever remember in my life since I started drinking.

That sounds amazing! Congratulations on reclaiming time for yourself! We may not know one another, but I’m very proud of you!

Thank you! This has been an awesome journey so far and also my most successful. There has been no rehab, AA or any of that jazz this time around. Like most of us here, I have quit drinking dozens of times before. This time around, I realized that booze had no part to play in my life anymore.

It was just time to stop killing myself slowly and learn to love life again.
