Two years ø

[kroggy]

It has now officially been two years of staying completely sober. I have not even had any 0.0% non-alcoholic beer, or other beverages.

I ask from other people's experience - do you think that I will realpse, or are my days hearing the kroggy sound as I down beers behind me? I feel liberated!

congrats on your two years!

I don’t think anyone can say if you’ll relapse or not - you just have to keep taking it one day at time. I’m 25 years sober and I still get the odd urge to have drink but they’re just fleeting thoughts and don’t stick around.

Just wanted to say well done. I’ve been teetotal for life but have decades of experience helping people close to me battling alcohol. In my experience as sn onlooker/support, if you’ve done 2 years it’s a very good sign… and the alcohol free stuff is dangerous, it can lead you back there so you’re doing great. Makes me happy to hear stories like yours!

Congratulations 😎👏I don’t thlnk we are ever cured. We can stay in remission if we carry on doing whatever keeps us sober. But the alcoholism is always there trying to convince us just one drink won’t hurt. I am coming up to my 15th anniversary but it is still one day at a time and keeping my guard up. For some reason these thoughts become more intrusive in the run up to an anniversary and then fade afterwards.

Well done! Congrats on your 2 years!

I think the answer to that question is only within you. Do you feel like you’re likely to drink again?

I’m also 2 years myself this month and honestly, I don’t even think about drinking anymore. I’d be as likely to pick up a cigarette and start smoking (I’ve never smoked in my life). It’s just not on my radar at all.

I think the key really is filling your life with other things. Does it feel like there is a big hole in your life where booze used to be? If so, I’d look to make sure that’s filled with something. Do you know other sober people? I think both of those are really important.

Hey just wanted to say Congratulations two years is amazing ! My two years is coming up in May, as others have said you are the one in charge of whether you relapse or not so stay positive and keep just taking things a day at a time, I hope you feel good about what you have achieved.

yes, sometimes what has kept me going is not wanting to tell my sober friends in recovery that I have slipped.
