Congratulations, Free, on accomplishing 100 consecutive AF days!
You've done this in spite of the constant challenges in your work life that frequently take you far from home and put you in places where alcohol is readily available and yours for the asking.
Over the time we've known one another I've vacillated between marveling that you manage not to drink given how accessible it always is for you to wondering how in the heck you ever did your high-stress, responsibility-laden job while drinking!
I went back to the thread where I met you and found one of your posts:
That was written on 3/11/13 so its been ~ 7 months and it looks like you've followed your own advice well with many, many AF days and now 100 in a row -- all the while encouraging others to maintain or gain those precious AF days.
I'm so glad to have met you and I'm so happy for you. NS

I want to look at this thread six months from now and see how far we all have come.
