My last drunk was over 6 years ago.

I don't remember it being much different than any other drunk over my last year of trying desperately to quit drinking. I was on the verge of losing things in my life that I cared about, family, marriage, employment, . . .

I finally got the courage up to go to AA and I also found this website. Both of those helped me to turn my life around.

My last drunk was over 6 years ago. I've found that memories fade and I can rationalize that "it really wasn't that bad." Before I know it I will think that I'm "cured" and can now moderate my drinking. I did that once after 5 1/2 years sober and that was a year long disaster.

I don't need to remember my last drunk anymore. Logging on to this website and going to AA meetings allows me to hear the struggles of others and vividly reminds me of why I never want to drink again.
