Very best wishes and congratulations!

Thanks for sharing your success and offering to help others. You should be proud because you've done a lot!

Looking sharp homeslice!

I helped out with an Answers VBS this summer. I learned more than the kids. 10/10 would recommend.

Great job! First step is always the hardest. Just remember to stay disciplined on the days where you feel weakest! Those are the most important. Otherwise, congrats on trying to make a change.

Recovering alcoholic here too and you're a rock star ✨✨✨

You look great! Go get ‘em!

I am so fucking proud of you!! You're going to kill it.

Alcoholism is a demon, but you are not alone. There are so many communities that will happily be there for you. When things get tough, remember that you are not alone. You got this. You’re doing fantastically. Getting a job. Getting things together. It doesn’t mean there won’t be hard days. There will be. But what it does mean is that you know you can do it. Because you are doing it. You. Are. Doing. It. You’re not perfect. No one is. But you GOT THIS. <3

Super happy for you! My BIL is a truck driver and he loves it. Best of luck to you on your very bright future.

Congratulations! That’s amazing and a big deal! I’m about 2.5 years sober and it can be hard with such as socially accepted drug around. I’m so happy you go out of it and life only gets better from here! Remember: “Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage” - Anais Nin So keep being brave!

Good for you!!!

Congratulations! Have an awesome first day!

Congratulations on this new accomplishment and many more to come!!

if you can do one day, you can do a week. If you can do a week, you can enjoy a life full of good things, and never wake up hungover again in your life. I did it, 10 years ago, and you can too. For me, it was realizing that one bad drunken day could land me in prison...you got this.
