He said that after you stop drinking (about 90 days in his comment), you realize that you have done something really big, something really important for yourself.
I would say that for me, I am as proud of stopping drinking as I am anything else in my life.
It is a much bigger deal than say graduate school or great grades or making a lot of money.
Those things are even silly in comparison to the pride and sense of accomplishment that comes from stopping drinking.
Congrats!
Makes sense. Even AA begins with a prayer. You need to fill that void.
Congratulations. As one who has never drank at all in his life (maybe in the late 70s a few glasses of wine spread across months), I can’t imagine how difficult this was.
Congratulations
I have had a different experience. I don’t think it was a big deal, at least for me.
Funny that you post this today... I just watched the video yesterday. Excellent.
It will be two years on June 9th that I stopped drinking.
I agree a hundred percent you must have something greater to replace it. For me, it was healthy habits, eating a whole food plant based diet and jogging. I am now up to 5 miles a day. The runner’s high is so much better than any alcohol buzz I experienced.

You should be proud. I am sure your family and friends thank you and are very proud of you.
