Long time listener, first time caller.
I had a year sober - a whole year! For reasons beyond me, I went back, and to be honest it didn’t go too bad until it did; and then I got a grasp on it again; and then (spoiler alert for exactly nobody here) I lost it again.
I’ve never had an issue quitting, and am currently in my final days of a short taper into vitamins, long walks, 2-3 of shitty sleep - and getting back to much needed sobriety.
For what it’s worth; looking back on my two years back in the wild, none of those things were more fun because I was drinking.
I look back and realize that I never missed drinking, but once my drinking got more serious, I always missed sobriety.
My walk on the wild side won’t be fatal, and I am confident in my ability to quit again, and abstain for a long time - but I felt like sharing my story for the first time ever.
For those who may not be brave enough to post - do it!
I will not drink with you tomorrow!
