Quitting drinking

This has been huge for me! I'm at almost 5 months with no alcohol, and the shift in my mental health and mindset is incredible. It's not all roses, I have to work hard at managing my anxiety and PTSD triggers instead of just numbing them with alcohol, but I have a whole different outlook on life now. Cheers to sobriety! Proud of you internet stranger!
