2+ years sobriety, potential TW
This might sound stupid and I hope this isn’t triggering but I have been sober for a bit over two years, I used to be an alcoholic which is why I haven’t touched it in so long. I also just felt like those days were over and wanted to never drink again. I feel as if I have truly healed and I haven’t had the urge to drink since I quit. I don’t feel pressured whatsoever but my brother wants to have a couple of drinks with me and I am thinking about it, there has been plenty of occasions over the years where people have asked me on a night out and I’ve always turned it down and lost heaps of friends because of it and because I have had no interest. Not to say I have interest now but I wouldn’t mind having one or two with him and that’s the limit, I truly think I have healed from my addiction and I strongly believe I won’t pick up drinking again as it’s not something I enjoy, it’s so expensive as well as just not worth it for many reasons. This may be the last time I have a drink in my life, maybe I’ll have one on my 21st but that would be it for good as I have no desire to drink and my lifestyle is completely different to what it was back then and I am in a much better place mentally. I’m obviously not asking for encouragement but just wanting to make sure that I am making the right decision. Ultimately it’s up to me but I just wanted some insight from others who have been in the same situation.
