I’ve sobered up for a month to eight months at a time. The difference is that the long stint was just because and I got talked into drinking by someone I was dating and then it was on top of me again. The one month stint was just to take a break. I did about two weeks right before the USA election last year, but then the asshat got in control again and I said fuck it.

This time, I really don’t have a choice. The effect on my body made it clear that I can’t keep going. I had a good run. I drank very hard for a very long time.

But thank you for the kind words. They are appreciated.
