By the Grace of God, I've spent 9 years free of alcohol.
I still go to meetings regular, Monday and Thursday at 10:00 am. I'm on my way shortly.
Life sure does suck a whole lot less on the outside of the bottle. These days it amazes me how I couldn't live a minute without it. It'd be like a bad dream, but after being drunk for 25 years, it's really not possible to forget.
I certainly don't miss all the wonderful fringe benefits that went along with it. It's good to feel good, and it's even better to be at peace.

I already told you it ain't no thing. You're sure not the first guy that offered me a drink, and you certainly won't be the last, my friend.
My step-daughter's boyfriend Andrew drank that bottle, he was absolutely thrilled. It made me happy to share. You done good, my friend. :tu

Monumental congratulations Scott! Indeed an achievement to be proud of!
Congrats Scott. My great uncle has been sober over 30 years and still wears his necklace with the date of his first day of sobriety on it. It is a life changer for you and everyone who cares about you. Keep it up.

Great job, Scott!!
Now if you can just stop your smoking, gardening, and building-everything-in-sight habits, you'll have tons more money left.
Right, I know...

Congrats. I have a lot of respect for those who admit they have a problem and try like hell to be sober. I attended an AA meeting as part of a mental health clinical and it really is sad to hear them talk about how they hurt themselves and friends/family because of their addictions.
