I can't judge anyone who drinks.
I'd be the biggest hypocrite.
I drank daily for 20 years, overdid it a lot.
Hurt people. Jeopardized jobs. Was unhealthy.
Stopping and staying stopped has allowed space and time to see my addiction for what it is.
It was so difficult to

Hitting 11 years sober today. One third of my adult life.
Quitting drinking allowed me to learn much. And I’m still learning!
Best thing about being sober this long is having so many friends who have never seen me drunk!
Freedom. Integrity. Progress.

What's happened to me over years of not drinking is I've become a nondrinker. I don't worry about it. I'm not scared. I don't need to check in with anyone. I can go to a happy hour. I can go on vacation. I can go anywhere and do anything I want.

Maybe there are people who can not drink for a long period of time, then have one, and not drink again for a long time. I know for a fact I'm not one of those people. One drink for me and I'm off to the races. Having one is simply not an option - now or ever.

The term “real alcoholic” is arrogant. It minimizes the experience of others. It can also plant seeds of “I’m not that bad” in some minds, which may prevent them from ever seeking help.
