11 years sober today. Full of gratitude💟

🗣️I used to think my problem was a character flaw—that I was weak.
Then I broke the denial and learned: alcoholism is a progressive disease, not a moral failure.

✨Recovery networks, including the medical community, helped me learn how to live sober—one day at a time.

➡️ If I can do it, so can you.

Today marks exactly five years sober for me. I quit when I was a microbrewery beer enthusiast and a so-called moderate drinker. Sometimes I overdid it, especially when I could pour a pint of fresh IPA from the brewery's taps. In total, I managed to review about 5,000 different craft beers to Untappd and whatnot.

Life didn't magically improve overnight after I quit, but reflux and stomach problems disappeared completely, and my migraines and panic attacks became less frequent. I feel better now than I did back then.

I think I'm going to keep it this way.
