In late 2019, I lost my wife. I had it all, and then my life fell apart. I was sad, depressed, completely lost, and turned to alcohol to escape. From the moment I woke up until the moment I fell asleep (passed out), alcohol was necessary. I couldn't function without it.
In early 2021, I voluntarily checked myself into a detox facility and spent a month getting clean. Leaving the treatment facility, I was OK, but knew I was still vulnerable. It wasn't a month before I was back at it again. I was once again sneaking and hiding alcohol, denying I had a problem and continuing to not only destroy myself, but everything around me. I lacked anything to keep me accountable.
A friend suggested that I try Soberlink. I still remember the initial call to Soberlink. I was embarrassed but ready to give this a shot. Three tests a day for a full year. On September 17, 2024, I did the unthinkable - I hit the one-year mark of sobriety. Zero alcohol for 365 days / 8760 hours / 31,536,000 seconds - that was my goal and I did it. I took that thing everywhere and never missed a test. I feel amazing, and my life is back. The reality is that I may or may not have been here to type this if not for this program. Thank you, Soberlink.
