I’m 3 years sober today!

[LunaNorth]

I just needed somewhere to show off!

It was so hard to stop, but so worth it. Life is so much better. If anyone is sober-curious, just do it. You won’t regret it.

@teaandtoastwithmarmite Keep going! Do
you feel better?

Absolutely huge achievement. Well done and great advice to newcomers. 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

Well done!

Well done this is incredible!

I'm 6.5 years and I can tell you it gets better and better and better.

It's so hard especially in a culture that normalizes and glorifies alcohol.

I'm so relieved I don't have to drink any more. My life is better in every conceivable way.

We are the luckiest ❤️

Well done op, amazing

@soberfabulous That’s great to know! I do so many things now that I didn’t have time to do when I was drinking. My life is so much richer.

Fantastic well done 👏 🥰 I have a close family who I am.hoping will start the road to recovery soon xx

@LakeTiticaca best of luck to them.

Oh very well done Luna & others who have managed sobriety.👏👏💐
fantastic achievement.

Congratulations! I've been sober since 2018 and don't miss it one bit. May you continue to live life to the full!

Congratulations! Im just shy of 3 months sober, and I've been lucky so far as it's been an easy ride.
I've already been through most of the "romanticized triggers" that I would associate with a drink (airport, plane, weekend away, clubbing, night/ out, anniversary, Friday) and once I got through the first weekend of mind nudges, alcohol has been banished to the back of my mind from day 7.

The pink cloud came and I'm probably still surfing it and hope to do so for a good while longer. We have a trip back to the Uk in 5 weeks for my parents' big golden anniversary and I will remain sober through that as well.

I don't think I'll ever not rejoice in how waking up with a clear head feels. I never realised just how much drinking alcohol consumed my thoughts at the weekends - "I've just finished a bottle of wine, should I open another one? Oh no I shouldn't because that's for tomorrow... fuck it, I'll buy more" or "I'm going out tonight, let's get shitfaced, oh but I've got a training session early tomorrow, how much can I get away with drinking?" Fuck it was exhausting. Now I have so much mental free time I can do a million other things!

Fantastic @LunaNorth - well done and here’s to many more years

Thank you @LunaNorth for detailing how you've done it. Some of those I was aware of but lots of new ideas - thank you.

I'm the classic - well I've not had a drink for ages, obviously I don't have a problem so let's have a drink - person. At least I am self aware!

Thank you all for the inspiration - the only think worse than failing is not trying at all.

Massive congratulations!!!

@Strokethefurrywall exactly. The mental tug-of-war was absolutely exhausting. It’s so relaxing not to have that internal monologue any more.

@NaughtyBoyGeorgeMichaelJacksonBrown it took me a few false starts before it ‘stuck’.

Good for you @LunaNorth
Sending good luck vibes to everybody else thinking of starting soon

Congratulations op, lovely news! 💐

Well done 👏

Congratulations, that's amazing

yay! Happy birthday! Huge achievement. X

Congratulations and well done-that’s amazing ❤️

I’m smiling away here, thank you all so much.
