Dude, that’s so kick ass! It’s people like you and posts like these that help give me hope and motivation to keep going.
Beginning of this year I went to the hospital for Delerium Tremens and not being able to sleep for three days straight. I needed help detoxing and needed to get bloodwork done. I was really worried about my liver and kidneys. Things were pretty bad but not awful and recoverable.
I’ve had my slipups, but it’s been about two months completely sober for me and maybe a couple weeks total drinking out of the past 6 months. I’ve lost 20lbs (need 25 more). Also my last blood tests a couple months ago showed me recovering. I can only hope to be where you are in another year and a half.
Congrats again!
You can do it, you really can. I tried to get quitting to stick so many times. I tried off and on for years until I didn't have to try any longer.
