So, just one person to another on the internet: best of luck to you both, and congratulations on your upcoming wedding :) I remember very well the stress of wedding planning. In the end we eloped!


Thanks! This is going to be an interesting year for me. I hit 7 months sober last week which is easily the longest sober stretch I've had since the first time I had alcohol around age 15, I'm getting married (never thought that would happen) and she makes more than me plus adding her income will finally give me some breathing room to start to entertain pursuing some sort of training/education other than a degree (college just isn't for me) to try and finally improve my situation as I move into being 35, we plan to try and have a house this year which will be a huge thing and nice to have space I can finally make mine... just gotta get through a potential epidemic that might kill people i know and/or leave me unemployed since I work in international freight wince.

Going to be an interesting year one or more ways.


Congrats on your sobriety! I stopped drinking 4 years ago, because it tended to make me depressed and anxious. I’m very happy with my decision.


Thank you!
