I really enjoyed hearing your story. You have a very calm and easy-listening voice. I too struggle with only having one or two drinks, and so now at 57 I am once again about 8 months with no drinking. I went clean for 7 years and 7 months in my 40's.
I’m listening to you, drunk and high. I’ve thrown away everything that’s related to drugs. Really hoping today was my last day not sober. Tomorrow starts the work. Thanks for sharing❤
Congrats Drew!!! Thanks for being so brave to share with really the world. Yes you should celebrate and continue to celebrate these milestones. I relate to your worry/anxiety as a kid, while my story is a bit different, I totally get it. We know none of us is perfect and we all have our challenges, so yes acknowledge and celebrate!
Congrats! Thank you for sharing your story. I totally relate to the part where you discussed our (individual and larger) world being focused on social drinking. My husband and I stopped drinking about a year or so ago. We did not like how it was affecting our physical/mental health and we had preteen kids and just did not want to drink around them. It is so awkward at times to not be drinking or to have to explain why we are not drinking or say no to a drink, and we find we are excluded from some social gatherings because of it and then feel a little lonely. My parents and sister are heavy social drinkers (daily drinking, pairing wine/beer with food) and so took some time to get used to spending time with them, and be comfortable with all that. We make people very uncomfortable and I hate that aspect! With all this said, the benefits of not drinking definitely outweigh all these cons!!

This randomly popped up on my home page, but I just want to congratulate you on your success!
That's awesome.
Keep up the good work
