2492 days from Day 1 to today !
or
6 years, 9 months, 27 days Day 1 to today

Sometimes when I come on here on Sunday I try to 'play down' the pride I have in myself for getting this far in case it's seen as 'boasty'.
And also if I think if newbies are reading they'll think "ah FFS I'll never have to be HERE if I had that AF time under my belt"
We think the goal is to get sober - but it's actually to STAY sober because life throws all sorts of shite at us. Our thinking about things change.

Last year I asked the question : if I was given a year to live would I drink - the answer was a DEFFO NO.

With what is going on in the world now I was prompted to ask myself the same question last night : there was no definite answer :egad:

Excuse the waffle of a Sunda' but I write as I think ..... not always good

Congratulations, @techie.

2642 days for me.

You know, @satz123, it probably would be ok to be a “normal” drinker these days (but I’ve read several articles about how some of them are drinking alarmingly more) but every day it occurs to me how grateful I am not to be an addicted drinker. All the acquiring, hiding, consuming, disposing, and recovering was a nightmare under regular circumstances. I can only imagine the horror it would be now.

5 years, 3 months, and 6 days of living life taking things as they come...

Congrats on the 10 years Techie!
