I turned it around and used the experiences of my 'drinking buddies' as motivation.

I have never had a DUI. My buddy has had 3. Lesson learned, by me anyway. (He is still drinking heavily and driving...)

I have never been to jail. He has and I even went down at 2am and bailed him out. Lesson learned.

I have never been in a drunken fight. He has, with his ex wife and got his ass kicked BTW. Lesson learned.

I could go on but I think you get the idea. Bottoms are subjective and hitting one is an experience that is best avoided.

You are doing GREAT! Congratulations on your sobriety!
