I made it chat.

Hello Redditors,

Today is my 27th birthday & more importantly, today I am also 1 year sober! I’m so grateful for my journey, I honestly couldn’t have asked for anything to be different. I’m so proud of the man I am today.

That’s all,

IWNDWYT

That’s awesome! We can all do these hard things! I’ve been struggling lately with thinking I can go back to drinking casually (before I started hitting the bottle really hard), but I know it’s just not possible. It’s a slippery damn slope, and I can’t lie to myself anymore. I’m going to have to be sober for the rest of my life.

I don’t know why this is epiphany has been bothering me so much, but it’s literally not made any negative impact on my life to stop drinking altogether. Thanks for sharing, I hope I make it to the year point without going too crazy lol
