January 16 and 16 days sober.
Over the years I have stayed sober for periods lasting from 3 months to 22 months.
My life is VERY much more sane, peaceful and stable when I don't drink alcohol.
Last year I was given a book about recovery from alcoholism. The author of this book, Allen Berger, makes the point that many alcoholics too easily accept the myth that life should be easy. In sobriety there can still exist anxiety, fears, depression, stress, low self esteem and relationship troubles etc and alcoholics in recovery are setting themselves up for failure if they expect life to be easy. Alcoholics should not be seduced by the idea that in sobriety all our days will be good ones.
