TODAY is 100 days sober for me. Alcohol slowly took over and was destroying my life. A while back I got this DM (pic) from one of our autist frens here who's in the same battle. Is "The Awakening" in the room with you right now? Join us! WE ARE THE AWAKENING. Every change matters. Let's GOOOOO!

I am very happy for you. Alcohol is a scourge to those of us that cant control the demons. Every bad thing in my life was due to alcohol.
I had my own battles with the bottle. I was a functioning alcoholic. Id work all day and drink all night.
I never made a conscious decision to quit. I dont know how I did it but one weekday I didnt drink after work. And then there was another. I still drank on weekends to excess but I broke free during the week.
At some point I didnt drink on a Friday. Soon I hadnt all week. Like I said it wasnt a conscious decision, it just happened.
Now I can have a beer without going on a binge. As soon as I feel that buzz though, Im done. I no longer enjoy it at all.
I know my situation is unusual. And I was still only 30 when the transformation began so no dt's. I know it wont work for many. Maybe only me. But it did work and Ive been sober for 25+ years now. The problems I had in my early marriage are gone. My problems with the law are gone. My hangovers are gone. All of the missing out on the babies milestones are forgotten (but still regretted and then I overcompensated with my youngest and spoiled her silly).
Getting off the booze was the best thing that ever happened to me outside my wife and kids.
