Over 10 yrs sober

I developed a very horrible drinking problem after I got back from Iraq. My drinking felt like I was drifting out to sea by an undertow, losing more and more control becoming increasingly more isolated and alone. I can proudly say that I have been sober for over 10 yrs. The cravings have gone down significantly. Every now and again I'll crave it but they are so weak now they are easy to fight off. I'm still a work in progress and I have other issues that I am working on right now. I just wanted to give some of you hope out there. There was a time that I thought I thought I couldn't life without the stuff. Everything in my life improved eventually being off alcohol. Good luck everyone! Success can me just a matter of one more try!

What a truly significant milestone and an impressive personal turnaround. Walking the walk every day and serving as an inspiration to people you donโ€™t even know. ๐Ÿ‘
