I doubt I've mentioned it. I made a conscious decision not to post my sobriety date on a public internet forum. Has it's pros and cons, I guess.

I think, too often, sobriety time gets thrown around as muscle in a discussion. 'I must be right because it's worked for me for xx years' doesn't have much validity in a program based on spiritual principles. I guess I'd prefer to be known by my fruit, good or rotten, and not by some arbitrary date of when booze did for me what I couldn't do for myself.

My experience with sobriety time is that I continue to do the suggested actions, and whenever I look up, another year has gone by.
