I’ve been sober for long enough that I almost don’t remember the days where I couldn’t exist without a few beers every day. The key word here is almost. After over 3 years of ups and downs, relapses, and getting back on track, I wouldn’t say I was the expert on sobriety but I have been doing this long enough to know that I could never go back to drinking again.
