not a drop of alcohol since December 10th 2012.........the months are going by like days now but those first couple of weeks were terror but boy was that worth it...........for those who think that it can`t be done I am testament that it can....what a difference,,,,,,,,,way better as a non drinker.
And to think I would care less about who thought what about me not drinking...LOL
What a joke, I could not care less if someone raises an eyebrow because I chose not to drink....that is their problem and their problem alone..............its awesome.

Thanks for your great post, Dutch. I started 3 weeks after you and echo your thoughts on kicking alcohol. Staying quit is the best thing I've ever done for myself.

My sobriety date is December 10, 2012 as well ! I agree with every word you said and the words don't even describe just how great sobriety is .. The feeling is even better. Congrats on 9 months and I'm right there with you.

Thats awesome you guys. its a total Victory. 1 year is right around the corner too! I break down in tears on anniversaries myself. Hell I can think about how far i've come and break down in tears. I never thought I'd make it as far as I have.

Its a good feeling isnt it!!

Its funny how you can get emotional about it and think welp I suppose this is a good problem to have!.
