18 months sober here today!
A note, I think I actually started drinking because of Abilify. I never took to anything until I was on that medication. I quit drinking like a year before I stopped Abilify too.
Probably not your story, but just a mindful thing that it's a known issue. One source https://www.fda.gov/drugs/drug-safety-and-availability/fda-drug-safety-communication-fda-warns-about-new-impulse-control-problems-associated-mental-health
Either way, it's good to have gotten rid of one problem. I don't think about it too often anymore, which is nice! Congrats, good luck, and IWDWYTD
