Wow. Sad to hear your situation but so happy to hear you are doing well, staying on your meds and most importantly staying positive.
Also glad to hear you have found the positive benefits of not drinking. That helped stabilize me so much too. There’s also a stopdrinking community that I mod should you want/need it as well.

Thanks a lot, Zerlyna. I was unsure about sharing, but figured why not.

Yeah, I actually felt an immediate relief when I stopped drinking. I might pop into the stopdrinking community, but really I've had zero issues so far. No DTs, and no cravings whatsoever. It's nice to be from such a useless substance!
