One of the best posts ever on this site. If it does not create/inspire healthier choices, i don't know what will.

ATT, thanks for your post and kudos to you.

(shhhhh, everyone look busy - a long timer is here!)

Just kidding ;-) Congrats and thank you so much for posting, it's inspiring. I can relate to your mixed feelings on the revolving door syndrome but it's the nature of the beast, I think. I also understand your point on the fatigue of it all and on concentrating on your own path first. As I see it, it's very hard to drive using just the mirrors, but looking out my windshield I can see folks like you in distance. Thanks for the inspiration and please do drop by once in a while to let us know what the road is like ahead.

Can I say again how nice it is of people to say such lovely things to me. Popeye and Lucky hello to you again...

Chookie, I'm no wonder woman. This is possible and I dont regret doing what I've done but I wont say it was easy.

and Mario.. long term stuff has long been quite silent here.. which is a shame.. but I guess we start to go on with our lives. I'll never forget from where i came though.

Good luck to you all.
Honesty and determination.

I'm not sure what you consider "long term sober." In terms of gaining wisdom from those with long term sobriety, I'm grateful to have the opportunity to interact with AA folks who have decades of sobriety in addition to those people with a few years of sobriety like My Way Out. Of course there is no comparing that between a relatively new program and one that has existed for 75 years.

That said, there are lots of people starting to accumulate here at My Way Out who have 1 year, 2 years and 3 years, things like that - and remain active as posters both giving and recieving support. It just happens that not a lot of posting goes on in this particular section.

About Time Too,

I just came across this post today. There's not much activity in Long Term Abs so I forget to check it. Many of us who are racking up some solid AF time are posting in Monthly Abs.

It was very touching to read your story. It underscores the hard work and determination to get and stay alcohol free. Like you, there are not too many people in my life who know what I have done or what I have been through. I also appreciate the honesty in your thread and how you have described what has (and hasn't) worked for you in your journey.

Please keep coming back to share your experience and wisdom.

I came here months ago and I was very very low. Some of your posts inspired me greatly. I thought I might be able to be sober with a website but I needed AA and people to help me. It has been vbery very hard but here I am still sober. I have your old three year post still pritned and I still carry it in my bag. Best of luck to you. Thanks
