I’m very happy for you, but I want to share some of my own personal experience. I dried out for about six months and thought it was all good and I could go back to drinking like a normal person. Within a few weeks I was back to my old ways of hiding liquor.
I won’t presume that you were as bad as I was, or that you need to do it forever. I only suggest you buy/borrow the “Alcoholics Anonymous” book, and read it for yourself. If it resonates with you, or if you read it and say “that doesn’t describe me”, then good either way.
Thank you. I’m trying to go 6 months at least. Have only been tempted once so far.

It’s an obsession of every abnormal drinker to be able to once again drink like normal people. It doesn’t work.
:( I don't want to be "that guy" at the Christmas party
