And if anyone is offended by such discussions, or who wants to make drinking jokes, you might want to find another hobby.

Not me. My dad joined AA after many years of drinking. Saved our lives.

Impressive, thanks for sharing.

I have a son who is in trouble with drinking. It hurts to see how he is hurting his own life and those of us who love him.

The best thing for me is realizing that I can’t really pin down a length of time that i’ve been sober. It’s been about 10 years for me.

I was told many years ago, 'Congratulating an alcoholic for not drinking, is like congratulating a trucker for not getting hemorrhoids'.

Good luck in your journey.

Good for you !
I had the tobacco habit pretty bad since my teen years and quit in March of 1986. It took a full five years before I quit reaching for a pack in my shirt pocket...

I stopped drinking last year - not because I thought I was consuming too much alcohol, but because my soon-to-be-ex-wife drove me to sobriety.

Sounds like a joke, maybe, but true.

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.

Five years without a fix, pill, drink, shot, toke, or suppository. Congrats!

(btw, if you are ever in the area of 8111, let me know.)
