Happy NYE! Was a big one for me: went sober. Alcohol became my band-aid solution for everything, which ended up with me ignoring things that needed to be done and putting my relationships, job, and health at major risk. I am now 10 months sober and beyond relieved to not be where I was one year ago. I found my dream job in the process, and was able to transition out of an old job that felt stale and holding me back. There is still lot's of progress to be made.


Way to go, and well done. Just two months to get to a year. Alcohol is pushed everywhere now so what you've done isn't easy.


Learning to adapt to stress without unhealthy vices is a skill.

Finding healthy ways to blow off steam maintains continuity with your most important goals.

Well done!


This is my dads first year sober! I'm super proud of both you and my dad =)


Good for you. Quitting alcohol isn't easy, and you should feel proud.


You landed your dream job because you were sober enough to put in the work. Congrats. Not easy at all.


Happy new year and all the best to you.

Would you mind me asking how you got off alcohol? How much were you consuming?


Well done and happy new year.


well done, that's extremely hard. wishing all the best
