We went dry at the same time. November 17th, 2009. Him at 22:00, me at 20:03 (I had a drink to finish, and we are 2 hours apart). So that bit is a no, though a nice idea. So much of this is screaming “none of my business” its hard to even talk about it.
Congratulations on your sobriety. I wish you and your friend the best.
