    Congrats now that you’re sober and thinking with a clear mind do you find any situation where you can be friends with someone who puts pineapple on their pizza?

    First off, congratulations!!

    My question: what was that drew you into alcohol abuse in the first place?

    Any advice for people who might find themselves in a similar situation to avoid falling into alcoholism?

    Do you have any go-to beverages or meals or snacks or anything when you look to unwind now?

    Congratulations!

    What were you addicted to?
    How did it start?

    How hard was quitting? What was your “I can’t do this anymore” moment?

    Congratulations!!
    Do you still find it hard at times or do you feel past that point? I’m just over 2 years and I know I don’t want to ever again and I won’t but I still have those moments that I have to wait for that feeling to pass.

    Did you get sober through AA or some other way?

    Nice job! I just celebrated my 40th anniversary being alcohol free in February. Keep it up! Am I required to ask a question? Okay, do you miss drinking at all? I haven’t.

    Any long term side effects to your drinking? Did stopping heal any parts which were broken?

    Congrats to you!!! 5 years is a huge milestone!
    What’s the dumbest thing someone has said to you after you told them you don’t drink?

    Have you ever dreamed that you drank and woke up feeling guilty? Congratulations on sobriety. I’ll be 9 years on the 10th!

    I had my last taste of alcohol on new years day. The first month was tough. I’m in my 5th month and hardly think about it. Congrats. It gives me motivation to keep going

    What was the biggest health improvement you notice? Weight loss? Resting Heart Rate?

    congrats, working on 18mo. here myself. Did you find periods in the past five years where you got close to ‘fuck it’ or has maintaining your sobriety been relatively easy? I hear from a lot of folks that get to a “I’ve got this” phase and relapse.

    When you were in active adiction, how did you spend your days? Did you work? Or just drink all day?

    yo, seriously congratulations! im three years sober, much healthier, and have just an all-around better life… but I still find myself missing the stuff. I get bored and want something to scratch that “exciting activity” itch. did you have a similar experience?
