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
