I see some loser lib already downvoted this π
They are sad creatures. Don't worry about them. Their opinions are wrong.
Being sober is not liberal enough.
Sobriety disrespects ~~addiction profiteers~~ free market entrepreneurs
Proud of u 
Sobriety is difficult, and to stay sober for 4 years is a great accomplishment π
nice! how do you feel these days?
Much much better. I don't really miss that stuff at all. I had some pretty dark times in my life due to it.
Congrats!
Congrats, comrade. I've been sober since July 4th of this year.
Congratulations! Keep it up πͺ
potential big emote
I will do my best and I hope you find continued success as well!
congratulation(s)
That's a big win and a great success, my best congratulations ππ» I am now 3,5 month alco free (started 1 of May), and continue it to the end of life π
Congratulations! You got this πͺ
Congrats, what were your biggest challenges? What and when did you realize it was worth it?
I don't want to get into specifics, but I just couldn't live like that any longer. After about a year of sobriety I realized that I didn't have many positive memories associated with alcohol.
Being sober actually allowed me to start reflecting on my life and lead me to start thinking about things. Ironically, it was also a catalyst into me learning about Marxism as well.
Dude. Sobriety was so important in my radicalization and moving from disaffected and alienated to educated and principled. I didnβt realize how badly alcohol had lead me astray until things got out of hand, and now I too am multiple years sober. Keep it up!

Good for you. How do you feel after all those years?
I had a period of 8 months sober some years ago. I can handle my alcohol now, though I am slowly starting to drink less and less. It's been three weeks since my last drink, actually. Sometimes I want to fully quit as well, but since I don't have a problem and I like to drink a beer every once in a while, I keep wondering if I should.
Big difference between substance misuse and substance use comrade, if you have a healthy relationship with it now thats great and likely doesnt need changing; for some people a clean break is the only way however.
Its all about the relationship you have with it and where it lands on your life priority list; when substances start becoming more important priorities than real life shit is when they tend to become issues.
Yeah, I guess I knew the answer already and it's yours lol. I don't know what I wanted to hear.
Thats awesome to hear, i myself am on my journey to being alcohol free. Life is much better without drinking.
Congratulations, comrade! Keep it up!
(Also, based username)
Almost at 3 years myself comrade. Congratulations
Keep up the good work comrade πͺ
As a functional alcoholic who wants to quit (I've done it twice, but gave in to temptation), I salute you. The first five or so days are the hardest. Then, it's like, why would I want that?
great work keep it up
Congratulations ππ
And here is me who has never touched alcohol ever in life
If you haven't, don't start.
Not planning here either. (Just not very sure of the future and what it holds for me)
I haven't either, but that's bc I'm a minor
Well. I'm well beyond minor now. But it is more about the curiosity didn't kill the cat (not yet)
Congratulations comrade!
I hope you have gained the balance in your life or whatever it might be you were looking for by staying alcohol free. Congrats
Thatβs awsome!
congrats, comrade!
