Congrats on not giving up and achieving sobriety Sara! I am sure your words will inspire people who are maybe in a similar boat to start putting themselves first.

There are all kinds of reasons for quitting drinking and different levels/types of alcoholism I think beyond the stereotypical ones we see, your words are a great reminder of that. I drink very rarely now, I find the longer I don't drink the less it occurs to me to drink. I don't know if I will ever be teetotal but I think it's good to check in with yourself from time to time even if you don't think you have a problem.
