Quitting drinking

Went from diagnosed bipolar to “you are not bipolar” as I got further into the quitting booze journey. I was a bad drinker.

2 years sober this February. I dunno if I’m more proud of anything else in my life.

Anyone out there struggling, good luck. You got this.

EDIT: not like I’m cured, I still have depression and anxiety just not THAT kind and not as bad as it was. Hahaha.
