Thank you to Athalia for writing a blog comment to bring me back here! I haven't written and I haven't been drinking either. Living a life of soda water, self respect, yoga, good sleep and fun with people who still drink. I couldn't ask for anything more really. I continue to be in a really good spot with myself and because of that the ups and downs that life brings me are taken in stride.
This blog is about to expire, and I can't decide if I should pay to keep it active...it is just sitting here. I don't feel the need to write because the not-drinking isn't a central concern anymore, but, but might this blog sitting here be needed for someone on a day one at any point? Can my notes of the walk into the dark of a new identity and rediscovering myself be a service to others?

Not sure what to say ... You were one of the few bloggers i connected with - and then you were gone. But i still go back and read ... Hoping i can get to where you are. It's a lonely place to be. In awe of how you made it to the other side ... Thank you for being a source of hope.

Congratulations on your success so far! This was a great read! Thank you so much. I wrote a similar blog about addiction and if it is a disease or a choice? https://beginningstreatment.com/is-addiction-a-disease-or-a-choice/ I'd love to get your opinion on it!
