    Year One vs. Year Two of Sobriety

    As of November 28th, I am officially two years sober. That is two years without a sip of alcohol. Not a one-off beer or a sneaky sip of wine. Not a champagne toast on New Years or a Guinness on St. Patrick’s Day. I never in a million years thought I would be able to… Read more
