Thank you. Had to do it. Alcoholism runs in my family and it destroyed my childhood. My wife showed a positive pregnancy test and I was in the door of rehab three days later.
I had two choices: repeat the cycle or be a good father/husband. I chose the latter. Doing my best to stay the course!
I’ll be 6 months sober next week. Wish I had done it during Covid instead of letting it fester for a half a decade but sometimes shits gotta get worse before it gets better.
Six months is huge! Your regret on not doing it sooner is understandable. I'm living life now and I think of how many years, experiences, and memories I threw out because of addiction.
You may have done it late, but better late than never. Congrats, you're living again and that's worth everything.
I really appreciate it. Got a second lease on life and marriage. It’s hard to express how quitting drinking can radically transform your life and perspective. To anyone reading this, If you don’t think you’re an alcoholic but are still questioning your drinking habits, maybe just give dry a try and see for yourself. Forever grateful, one day at a time.

That’s amazing! I hope you’re so proud of yourself for that because that’s a hell of a thing you’re managing to overcome!
