I'm just now realizing that I've been sober for a full year

I don't know the exact day like most people do when they quit alcohol, but I know it was October maybe between the 18th & the 25th.

I'm still absolutely devastated about my kids mom cheating on me so that happiness is being overshadowed right now. But I do feel grateful that I don't even think about turning to alcohol. Even to get through this. I already know alcohol would make things feel so much worse.

I feel no anger. I'm just completely crushed 😔 but yay for me 🙏 I guess

Nice one. I don't remember the exact date for me either.

I know things aren't great but they'd be worse if you were still drinking.

@SomeIrishPerson the exact date isn't too big of a deal. At least we know how long it's been anyway 👌 but yeah you're right. That's what I always think too. If I was drinking I'd be feeling like crap & drowning in my own sorrow. Crazy how I used to think that shit helped

Sorry about personal problems. It's awful when trust is broken like that. Well done for staying strong and sober though xx

@PatientlyWaiting25 thank you. It does suck when you genuinely believed you could trust the person. It sounds so cliche but yeah... I still never expected it

@calicuz when I first quit I remember how much better & healthier my body felt every day 😅 it's like I'd wake up with good energy & just have it all day long. I was like WOAH so this is what it's like to live like a person? 😂 Thank you though man

Good for you for not returning to the old bad habits in the face of adversity. Remember you can’t be a good Dad if you aren’t the best you can be.

@JesseInTX true that. My daughter is the main reason I even started working to be a better person. She gave me every reason to keep going

@ChiefJustWalks lots of men don’t do what you have done. They just continue their cycle of bad habits. Good on you for seeing the bigger picture.

Life isnt perfect. (Like i need to tell you that). But you know this will pass and become part of who you are now in time. Not drag you back to who you used to be..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman yeah my dad even warned me not to become self destructive & it's nice to know he doesn't gotta worry. I'll be fine. It hurts more than anything I've ever been through but I'm still handling it better than anything else I've been through 👌
