Here's my question: What do you believe the Beginning sobriety date I use should be? and Do people who use near beer, Beginning Date change each time they drink a near bear? Please briefly explain your answer.
I'm not big on the dates....and the only real reason I announce it when I share at a meeting is because my sponsor tells me to....and my line of sponsorship "requires" it.
IMO, maybe you should change your date, maybe you shouldn't.... that's really between you and God and your conscience and so forth.
Ppl that routinely drink "near beer," IMO, are not ppl I'd want to hang around. I wouldn't want my sponsees at their meetings and.........all that's me being judgemental......and I'm reeeeeally trying not to judge - lol. What they do is up to them - but I'm not going to be part of that world with them.
Like Carol said, you don't have to get drunk to lose your sobriety. Sobriety is more than "I don't drink."
