Congrats Jason! It sounds like you are getting to the point where you realize that being sober will not solve all your problems, but does remove a whole 'nother set of problems
It's been 18 years on the 13th for me.

What I really want to know is...

will all you sober and happy wagon riders finally fall off the wagon once old Faithfull starts puking up lava and pumice all over the USA?

Have a drink on me! :beer::thumbsup:

And I have never heard it put quite like that. It makes a lot of sense. Being sober doesn't solve anything, learning to deal with life's problems while sober does.

Hmm, I suppose it's unwise to say "Let's go and grab a beer to celebrate" ???

On a more serious note, Congratulations to you! I hope things get better for yah. Besides, Officer Friendly says don't drink...

I'm beginning to think sobriety is over rated and that drinking/being drunk is overly taboo.

Its all about balance. The problem is that my scale is broke.

I think my scale is wacky too. I enjoy the taste of all the alcohol I drink but still don't find much point in drinking unless I'm going to get a buzz or get drunk.

Congrats rudedude. I don't have alcoholism-related experience, but I know the pain of battling an addiction. :thumbsup:

[IronWing]

Congrats!

If you give up coffee as well I can hook you up with some snazzy underwear.

Its been exactly six months since I have had a drink. I know that's not a big deal to some but for me its quite a big deal.

I am really digging life now.

Good work Rudeguy!

 

[MotF Bane]

Congrats dude.

 

[alkemyst]

[guyver01]

To an alchie.. 6 months feels like 1,000 days

 

[Kyle]

You'd think when that thought crossed your mind you'd check the post date.....

Congrats on 1000 days!

 

[lxskllr]

Congratulations!

So, is that it, done deal? Do you still have any desire for alcohol, or does it ever cross your mind?

 

[Pliablemoose]
