I haven’t been keeping track of my sober time for a while but realised I hit 6 years alcohol free earlier this month. Checked in today and it’s a nice round number so sharing it.
Not drinking is not something I really think about any more. I genuinely cannot imagine a situation that would be better with alcohol.
Learning to do life substance free has been a ride that has coincided with some big mental and physical health stuff alongside some big life changes.
I’m currently at a point where it feels like I am really starting to put the lessons I’ve learned through recovery (in the broadest sense) into action. I recently split with my partner of 20 years and have ambitions to go travelling and live some of the dreams I didn’t think were an option for me.
I know that things will change and I will have to keep learning and relearning the same lessons, and that life will likely to continue to be a series of existential crises But I feel optimistic about my ability to deal with that and about the future. That’s new. Stopping drinking was the start of that process.
Things are busy and hectic at the moment as I try and get the farm ready to sell and then work out what the hell I’m doing next So I am not sure I will be super active on the forum. But I am so grateful to all the sober fam here who supported me along the way so I wanted to drop in and say thank you

Thank you for the update and sharing. As my own life is still undergoing some major changes I want to say: Your post echoes deep in me, it’s great that you will go travel and stay curious. Good vibes for your new chapter(s) in life

I’ll add one of those things where we relate to the post…
I hear ya and feel the same. Drinking is now the last thing I think about. It’s firmly planted in my soul that there’s just nothing good for me in drinking or drugging.
But damn… All this stuff we learn and practice in recovery is with me daily. The little soul squirrel running in the spirit hamster wheel, wondering as Mr @Yoda-Stevie says, how to keep getting better at getting better?
Cuz life keeps on lifing, that’s for dang sure. It’s reassuring to know we’re not alone.
But I feel optimistic about my ability to deal with that and about the future. That’s new. Stopping drinking was the start of that process.
So I am not sure I will be super active on the forum. But I am so grateful to all the sober fam here who supported me along the way so I wanted to drop in and say thank you
