Congrats!! I have over 4 years under my belt and you talking about your sobriety on the internet had a big, positive influence on me during my heavy drinking years. 🙏

Congratulations! I don't think I've nodded in agreement with a newsletter so much in my life. I've been sober for 12 years this year, with very much a similar experience as what you described. So many of your words resonate so strongly. Kudos on your journey and for sharing your story, here's to ten more years

Congratulations on 10 years!! I am 22 days away from my 15 year sobriety anniversary. Best decision I ever made. This sentence "drinking (for me) was never about the experience or the taste, it was always about losing myself in my weapon of choice" summed up what I have thought for SO many years. Thank you for that.

This was a wonderful issue and thank you for writing it.
