Congrats!
Right on brother, stay strong
A HUGE congrats to you! I had 12 years on April 1st of this year. I still get the urge to drink once in awhile, but I just tell myself I’ll get drunk tomorrow. Works for me. Isn’t it wonderful to wake up in the morning and feel “clean.”
Best wishes for you.

good
I know you don’t want congrats but I just can’t help myself! CONGRATS!
My father never took the step you did and I can only imagine how his life might have improbed if he had.
So I just spill over with happiness for you. Even if tomorrow you told me you had a drink, I’d know you could go AT LEAST 5 more years without one. You have proven it. Congrats! CONGRATS!
I hope your son is able to find the solution to his problem. I was stupid about this for a long time...

Congratulations! And my very best wishes for your future.
Carpe Diem! :)
Congratulations!!! Keep at it, it gets easier every day, and you won’t miss it a bit.

Fantastic.
Looking forward to reading this post in a little while.
Well done! I’m asking that you be inscribed in the Book of Life for another year.
I think that is a real keeper...
Sure is...congrats on 12+
I quit drinking when I asked myself why I drank. The only answer I could come up with was “Because I can” I decided that it made a good reason to quit too.
Congragulations!!
Keep it up. It’s totally worth it.
In a few months, my business partner will have been sober for THIRTY YEARS. He’s about 70, and man, did he have it bad — the drinking problem, that is. Real bad. Now, he never craves and never thinks about it. I don’t think he goes to many meeting now days. He just goes about life and he is a Democrat supporting Obama. I think he was better off as a drunk. [Just kidding......kinda ;)]
Good for you. To me, Pepsi or Coca Cola (especially fountain ones) are wonderfully satisfying drinks, and they don’t make you feel rotten in the mornings, or guilty, or ashamed. I think good food may just be my weakness. Enjoy the good things in life and be thankful!
Bump and congrats..
And there’s nothing GOOD that can happen to me that a drink will make BETTER! Have to keep those celebrations in check!
