This made me so happy to read that I even have tears. I just know the depths of this and the fact that you quit cold turkey and are noticing all the benefits makes me so happy for you!!

We are all hypocrites when we drink too much!! I mean, I know I was. All I thought about was when I could drink next but I was hiding that from most people. Isn't it wild that we start drinking mostly as a social lubricant and to ease the depression and anxiety but instead it makes us withdrawl and even more depressed?!!?

80 days is huge. It took me a million times to just get 3 months. And, that is when you really start feeling better, I think.

PS- your writing is really good sober!! :)

So proud of you!!
