Pink
I know it's hard not to go to defcon 5 with worry and fear but I hope the drug regime will lessen off and the overall prognosis will change very much for the better once a little time has passed, and the injured nerves perhaps settle down

Congratulations guys!
Great to see Scooterboo, ultraman, and Pink on here, and thanks to Dee for the ongoing support! I am so proud of you guys!
I am sorry to hear about your fall Pink. AIl I can say is keep fighting, use what got you here!
I am doing really well. I have been sober since today!...3 years ago.
Sobriety has allowed some cool things to happen in my life like getting married and having a precious 9 month old.
I now see my weekly outdoor pursuits fishing and hunting as my way to cope with life's craziness and stress.
I still remember that I loved to drink beer, and I remember how I found that nothing relaxed me more than it did, but it is all but a dream now.
I gained a lot of insight about myself through all of this. I think I used booze to deal with some mild social anxiety, starting way back in grade 10. I have come to realize, I need to spend a lot of time alone in nature to recharge my batteries, and it is ok to not seek out drunken parties and large groups, as its not the real me anyways. I get anxious in big groups, and I have learned to accept that about myself. I used to always get half drunk to gain confidence and be ok acting silly in large groups, but the part I was missing is that I'm not an extrovert, and its silly to drink myself into trying to be one hhhaha
I would say to all those drunk introverts out there, be proud of who you are, and you don't need to get drunk to fit in, find your own way, a way that makes you happy
Happy 3rd anny guys! keep up the great work!

THREE YEARS!!!!
The last drink I had was a strawberry Marguerita at an outdoor cafe on August 15, 2014. The last time I was drunk was the middle of that July; after being called out by a completely obnoxious woman in my book club, I basically stopped, because it made me take a good, long look at myself. But, I continued to have a few beers or a summer drink whenever in her presence for the next few weeks - how crazy was that?
I have never told anyone outside of SR that I stopped drinking because I am an alcoholic. I owe my sobriety to the wonderful people from the August, 2014 team.
