I don’t talk to a lot of people in the real world about my sobriety. Many of my friends don’t know. I don’t like making it a “thing” in my relationships with my best friends or family. I know I can always talk to them but I try to reserve that for times I need support or someone to just let me talk about what’s going on in my head. I talk to my wife the most out of anyone but I don’t like celebrating milestones with her because I feel guilty remembering why I needed to change in the first place. What I’m trying to say is, I don’t have many people that I want or choose to share milestones with, but I feel like telling someone, so thanks for indulging me. Today marks one and a half years since my final drink. I have a long way to go and a lot more work to do to become the man I want to be, but this is a point I never imagined I would ever reach, so I’m taking the opportunity to acknowledge it.

I hope everyone else on this path is faring well

It’s serendipitous in a way that I see this post today. As someone who has been sober for 3 and a half years at one point, another year and a half at another, it’s a better way to live. Sadly, I haven’t been living that way for a while. My wife brought up how she doesn’t like to be around me when I drink, and that really hit hard for me. Today is day one for me.

Congratulations on your hard work Dick Niaz @Dick Niaz I’m stoked for you, man.

if you are able to do something this impressive, why do you suck at everything else?
