Thanks! And I'm not sure to be honest. I never heard of it until I mentioned in AA how happy I'd been feeling lately. I'd say it was maybe 4 weeks into my sobriety? But as with a lot of things, I'm sure it can vary wildly.

I was pretty deep in, and I couldn't afford the medical support I should have had because I lost my career and I was also legally forbidden to drink alcohol for one year. It got so much easier after the first year and a half to two years, but I still remind myself every day that I'm choosing not to drink because anyone can easily become an addict or alcoholic.
