Congratulations.

I will be 5 years for me come December. The only benefit I have gained from it is I am no longer dying physically from it. 

The medicine the doctors give me don't manage the pain as well.

Alcohol is no longer a problem. On a good day, on a bad day I have no desire to drink. 

I am personally baffled why people relapse after long periods of sobriety. I guess some of us can't stop killing ourselves.

Wow! Big congratulations to you on 4 years on living a sober and alcohol free life! I’ve never ever been an alcoholic, never even touched any of it! But I know how difficult it is to live without it being in your life - people don’t think you’re “with it”, “hip”, or cool to be around, have less friends than those who are into it, and many other downsides. At least that’s how my non drinking life experience has been thus far. 

Besides that, everyone’s an addict bc we are all addicted to something. Whether that specific something or those specific somethings are good or bad is a different topic. However being addicted to something can make that something even if it’s good for you bad for you bc being addicted to it can mean you may overdo whatever that is and too much of anything isn’t good for you or so that’s what has been said all these years I’ve existed 😂😂😂

@akunknown this is a very kind message, and thankyou for taking the time to say so! i'm so glad to be getting responses from people in the community as well. it can be hard socially, but in time we learn our own tips and tricks! though, i agree, anything can become bad! it's true, your mental space can be taken up quickly. recovery is an amazing thing.

Not to toot my own horn but I respect myself for never drinking, smoking or doing drugs as well as people who realize how bad any or all of these things are and not only realized they need to stop and become sober which are both accomplishments in itself but also staying sober for however long they’ve been. 

But I also wanna point out I don’t hate or have anything negative against anyone who does any of this. My mom and stepdad used to smoke when I was younger. My 3 siblings and many if not all of their friends drink but as far as their friends go I feel closer to few of them that I feel I’ve bonded or am in the process of bonding with than my own family. It’s their life. If they wanna drink more power to them. Long as respect me for not drinking and not forcing me or anything else into drinking then no problem at all between any of them and me :)
