@Thatchick ...did you drink daily or more binge drinking?
Congrats by the by....I haven't gone 6 months sober in like 15 years.

At the end I was up to a half gallon of vodka a day. Almost died a couple times.

Half a gallon? Fucking hell.....that's, what, 2L. Yeah, that'd fuck anyone up. Good on ya for getting rid of that shit. How did you taper off, if at all?
I was so far into it I needed medical detox each time. I'd stay a month in rehab and within 2 weeks relapse again. This time I packed everything I own and moved to a sober living house

Did it take a long time to get to the level you ended up at? Or did your drinking problem ramp up rather quickly?
About 2 years of daily drinking. Probably 1.5 years really. It kinda creeps up on you, one day your cool, the next week your doing shots out of a dead sleep at 2am to stop shaking.

One day at a time 
2.5 years later. Ive had a divorce, near financial ruin, started drinking after I had 1 year sobriety, have been able to keep it at a social level. I never drink to get drunk. 2025 about killed me and 2026 is a year for growth and good fortune. No idea if anyone will see this ♡◇♡

That's a great attitude. And maybe "white knuckling" it completely dry just isn't for you.. if you can honestly handle it being casual then who is anyone to tell you differently.
Things can go down fast and take a while to build as you are aware, so yes 2026, take control of it for yourself.
'grats on all of that. Keep it up and when you feel an urge talk it out with someone you trust maybe.
Do you reflect on what works and what is a trigger? Being aware of those is
