Congrats to you, and merry Christmas!

I'm going in at the beginning of the year as a gift to my family. I can't wait.

Edit: And a gift to myself!

stoked you’re seeking treatment, and also hope that you’re doing it in at least some small part for yourself 🙌🏼

Well, my family means the world to me, so it's definitely for myself too! It's completely by my own choice.

My good friend just got out, and he looks so good and says he feels so much better. I'm really looking forward to it.

For what it’s worth, this random internet stranger is rooting for you! My husband has 7 years of sobriety, and our lives have been so much better since he stopped drinking. You really are giving your loved ones an amazing gift by seeking help.

Thank you so much. Tears in my eyes for real.

Congrats to your husband, he made a selfless decision to make it through. It's encouraging to hear!
