One year and 3 months down today. It’s my second birthday sober and I’m feeling great. Having lunch out with the family today. It has taken a while to reprogram my brain. Before I would find any celebration as an excuse to drink. Even alone. ESPECIALLY alone. Now I enjoy the company, period. 💜

Awesome, well done, congrats! It's funny how your brain is tricking you to do things you don't really want to do. Well done on the reprogramming, my experience is that it only becomes easier over time.
