I forgot to write this on the proper day, and Liza is at work so she can’t edit it for me. Expect a typo or two. — Alex Yesterday was my sixth anniversary of not drinking. Frankly I am a little surprised that I have made it this far. Not that I want to return to torching my health, happiness, and friendships. I don’t. But I am somewhat bewildered that I am still on the wagon as I am not particularly strong, or smart.
great post, all true. and very wise to be thankful for every day, considering I've got 30 years and had been doing well, when all of a sudden, bam, Sunday I found myself wanting to drink, and I may be telling a different outcome (I didn't drink) if the local Target (where I was doing errands) sold pints of my go-to drinks (or any pints really). HUGE CONGRATS.
Every year for the past couple or few(?) I’ve been reading your anniversary story and it stays with me for an entire year.I actually think about it, reread it etc. Congrats on pushing through another year. I’m sure it has its moments and frequently is not easy. I admire your willingness and ability to share your journey (hate that word, but….). To be candid, these columns also terrify me on some level and I’m not sure why. I have a hunch that’s not a bad thing. Keep up the great work Alex.
Hugs, congrats and thank you for sharing your story, there are most certainly people who benefit from your transparency
Fuck yeah.
you're my hero!
You're fucking amazing Alex!
Hugs and love 🤘

Paso a paso. Happy for you.
