Hope it keeps going well for you

You've admitted you have a problem. You've sought and gotten help. My father, with whom I haven't spoken in over 20 years, never would even admit it. I doubt he ever has. So from my perspective, you've taken some huge steps, and probably the most important ones. Perhaps even the most difficult. You can do it.

Good for you for taking control of your life. Some days will be harder than others. Despite my reservations about AA, “one day at a time.” is a good place to start.
