Five years ago today I almost died. Today marks five years sober.

Last year I posted [my story](https://old.reddit.com/r/stopdrinking/comments/ycq87g/four_years_ago_i_almost_died_today_is_my_four/) for my four years without alcohol.

Today marks five years.

I just wanted to say thank you to this community. Quitting drinking, I am sure, has saved my life. Part of my sobriety has been the support of this community.

You have, (in my best Rob Lowe voice) *literally*, helped save my life. Just by being here and supporting each other. Seeing everyone here encouraging everyone else is what I need some days.

Thank you. Every single one of you is an inspiration.

I love you all. Here's to another year!
