1500 days

So grateful for my alcohol free life today. I was drinking very heavily and it was causing problems. Totally unmanageable in every way. Friends and family pushed away. Job loss. I was homeless at one point and incarcerated briefly as well. I had seizures from withdrawal twice and probably suffered some brain damage from that. Recovery hasn't come easy. I first started going to AA and working on an alcohol free existence in 2010. I lasted six months before falling back into drinking. I would often get a few weeks or months here and there. I didn't make it a year until 2016 but managed 4 years that time. My last relapse was brutal and lasted a year. I've now passed four years again for the second time. Really pleased but know it's just one day at a time. It's so worth it.

Best wishes for your recovery.
