💫6 years sober💫
While there are many, many benefits, and it has gotten easier, I still have regular dreams where I'm drinking, and then I wake up worrying I'm no longer sober. Suffice to say, sobriety is something I work on every day.
I was never an alcoholic in the way that most people imagine. It was all very civilised and middle class af. 18 quid Rioja, organic Viognier, Joni Mitchell on headphones etc etc. But I was completely entrenched in alcohol as a coping mechanism.
