Long Time Lurker- First Time Poster

I went cold Turkey the first week of February, SuperBowl was hard and so was Valentine’s Day; but other than (an intentional) night last week have been sober since! I don’t know that I will always choose to maintain a completely dry lifestyle, but definitely chose this path impart because of this sub. I have been a follower for a couple of years and a Mod was nice enough to warn me rather than ban me when I broke the rules a couple years ago.

I mostly fell into the functioning alcoholic category, good job, no work performance issues; but even without a major trigger for the change it’s been a fantastic decision! In the last 6-weeks I have lost 25lbs (210>185) and my blood pressure has gone down by 20points. I have saved several hundred dollars (I was drinking a 12-pack of Whiteclaw daily) and don’t not have any anxiety around what I say when people call or I see them etc.

So thanks so much for quietly being on my feed and helping me get there!!
