Earlier on, I was doing some social media work
And I landed on the global commemoration of the “World Storytelling Day”.
I liked it!
Immediately, I recalled I have a number of blogs of mine that I can share, in this light
Which led me to two I wrote down earlier, when I had just started blogging.
One of them is called “The Year I Quit” and the other is called “4 Years Sober Now”.
For some days now, I have wanted to write an update on this journey of complete sobriety of mine.
Today is the day….
As we speak today, we are already past the life-time mark of being “8 Years Sober”
Of being completely sober!
Has the journey of 8 years sober, been easy?
No, it has not!
There has been lots of testing and trying moments here and there.
Someone I know has always said that whatever you love or like will not come cheap to you.
You must be ready to pay a hefty price to get it and I am very ready to pay the expensive price of sobriety!
Have I felt like quitting this whole process?
Many times, yes.
However, to be fair, this was in the very beginning of this whole process!
Am I happy with the progress I have made, until this point of 8 years sober?
Yes!
I am so happy with it. I mean, how could I ever imagine myself away from alcohol, back in those days?
Would I recommend total sobriety to anybody out there?
Yes, definitely!
There is a very relieving and good feeling to knowing you are not being held captive by that product!
It can sure feel like you are in prison, you know!
Do I like being sober?
Yes, I do.
Unlike then, when I knew very little about how this whole world of alcohol works!
Am I looking forward to more 8 years sober?
Definitely, I am!
Why go back to times that were not as good as these ones?
~How long have you been sober? ~
