Today is day 1,000

I was at a point where I was 99% sure alcohol was going to be the death of me. I drank in the morning, afternoon, night, and sometimes in the middle of the night. It's been a long, hard road out of hell, but I certainly DO NOT have any regrets. I never found one solution that helped me get to where I am. I started with AA, which was great at the time because it helped me understand that there are a lot of people going through the same issues.

I got to a point where I knew AA wasn't the cure-all everyone told me about, but that's my perspective and experience. I listened to books on the way to work, listened to AA speakers, went to 3 meetings a day at a point, talked with a mental health counselor, etc, etc, etc. To clarify the first sentence, please do whatever helps you. My point is that I had to utilize all of those, and more, to reach this point in my life.

The most important thing I did throughout this was that I never quit trying to quit. I never gave up and didn't intend to. It was fucking HARD, but I stuck through everything. I absolutely despise alcohol now. Here are [my stats](https://i.ibb.co/gM2FMxZv/IMG-9641.png) from the Reframe app (highly, highly recommended).

Hold on to ANYTHING that sets YOU FREE! IWNDWYT or ever again.

P.S. Fuck you, alcohol.
