Sober 6 years, 9 months. Very rarely do I have a day I don’t think about drinking. Most alcoholics are addicts in general, and many replace one vice with another. Smoking for instance. Or pot. Or pornography.
My drug of choice was cigars, but I’ve recently been unable to tolerate them. It can be very difficult dealing with just life without a substance. SOBER: Son Of A Bitch, Everything’s Real.
Good on you! And while Reality is greatly over-rated, it’s the only way to go! :)
