ID:	255423 Just realized that August 1st I had been sober for 8 years. So I'm celebrating! No, I'm not drinking. Those days are over. I'm cooking some ribs, trying a new method on my kettle.

    Congratulations on your 8 years. I don't know your story but I'm sure you are better off now than you were before. Keep it up.

        Congratulations, I’m sure it has not always been easy. I hope you have many more successful anniversaries to come.

          It really wasn't that difficult. The hardest part is being around my friends that continue to see how much they can drink. No fun at all. And I used to be the best at it.

            Great!! Congratulations and keep on truckin'

            My eldest brother was sober for 36 years when he passed. Best thing he ever did and that is saying a lot.

                Congratulations, I'm starting my 15th year.
                That old adage that states "If you want something done right you must do it yourself!", didn't quite hold true regarding my latest surgery.

                  Congratulations to you, and everyone else that has walked this path. I am 11.5 years sober myself.

                        Congratulation!
                        This year is #8 for me too. Don't miss it at all. I was a professional raised around a bunch of professionals.
                        Yeah being around a bunch of drunks ain't as fun as it was when your drinking too.
                        I never released how much drinking affected my physical fitness I quit smoking and drinking and could walk the duck marsh like a new man.
                        Revelation 22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.​

                        Onward, Christian soldiers,
                        marching as to war,
                        With the cross of Jesus
                        going on before!
                        Christ, the royal Master,
                        leads against the foe;
                        Forward into battle,
                        see his banner go!​

                          Congratulations, to you and everyone who has made this change. I am truly happy for each of you and know it was tough to take that step.
                          I've known (for certain) three alcoholics in my life. One a close friend who reached a point of being hospitalized twice before he finally sought treatment and has been sober for over 20 years. The second never gave it up and died too young. The third, another dear friend who came to the realization one night after some really heavy drinking. The next morning he told his wife he was never going to drink again, and he kept his word throughout the rest of his life.
