I got sober at 33 and thought too much of my life had passed by but after a couple weeks and meeting others aged 50-70 getting sober I quickly realized how lucky I was to get sober at my age and how much potential life I still might have...made it 5 years this July and looking forward to 10+
grats buddy, stay vigilant
I’m the same age, with more relapses and detoxes than I can count on my hands. I had never thought about it that way, but it’s a great perspective. I’m at day 93 today, feeling sturdy as fuck.
Congrats on your sobriety! 5 years is a huge feat and I’m sure it feels amazing! ☺️✊🏼
Congrats on 93 days, stay strong and when you're feeling weak remember how strong you were to get this far and reach out for help!
Thank you for the encouraging words!! ❤️
I will not drink today.
The last time i was drinking was like 10 years ago. I was sitting in a bar with a friend and we were both almost 30. I started to realise that most people in there were younger than us. Sometimes by quite a bit. The exceptions were a bunch of guys who were 40 to 60 years old, hanging at the bar by themselves, talking to "young" people and they cringed out of their minds. I told my friend that i'd rather die than end up like that. I didn't even realise back then that was the last time i'll ever drink.
8.5 years here, it's not something I spend a lot of time thinking about any more but I'm going to be really proud when I get that 10.
