Jesus, I'm really sorry hearing about the first one. I can't imagine the pain that must've caused you. Good on you for getting over drinking and standing by that decision!

Yeah the first one really hurt that's for sure, I basically went on a mission to be as numb as possible after that.

But I'm 5 years sober now and I couldn't be happier. Being sober really allowed me to address my mental health and my physical health as been on nothing but an upward trajectory since.

I started drinking when I was 12 and this is the longest I've been sober since. I look forward to the day I can say I've been sober longer than I was drinking, just 7 years to go.
