Today I am 1 year sober

One year ago today I stopped drinking for my mental health. I was going through a high stress time and drinking too much.

I was doing it socially (lunches with friends) but I realized it was impacting so much of me.

I stopped.

I kept saying I am not alcoholic but alcohol and I no longer get along. The thing is the further along I got in this journey the more i realized something. I just might be.

I rarely wanted alcohol for social reasons.
I never said it would be nice to have wine with this steak. I said its been a really bad day I wish i could have whiskey.

I have the full support of my husband but I don’t really talk to others about it. I am not working a program although I see my therapist. Not as much as I would like but I do.

I am proud of myself today. I just needed to throw that out into the void.
