2 Years Sober

September 15th, 2022 marks two years of no alcohol for this guy.  I have never felt better in my life.  I am at a health 170lbs, I am walking most days and I am biking regularly.  I am only on one medication now, Nadalol, to control the verisies  in my esophagus from returning.  Getting off the other meds has meant that I have more energy, my appetite is back and my hair is returning to its normal curly state.  

I could expound on here for pages about all of the benefits from not drinking, but I am just happy that I discovered myself without alcohol before it was too late.  Looking back, I realize that I used alcohol to deal with frustrations in my life and a lack of control over my own direction.  The alcohol numbed me in a way that I needed to get through my lack of control and lack of direction.  Now that I have a better sense of who I am and what I stand for, I am unapologetic and proud of the man I have become and I don't need alcohol to gloss over anything.  I am who I am. To thine own self be true.  

Onward and Upward!
