37 months yesterday.
Time marches on, I still think about people drinking and remember the taste of a good beer. However, those moments are more and more rare and if they occur I quickly remind myself what a misery my life was before. How I wake up in strange places, or with a spouse who is upset. With a pounding headache and an empty wallet, wondering where I was the night before or what I said and did. Thank god I don't have to live like that anymore. If you are struggling and thinking about giving up. Please take a another look at your past and remember, there's a reason you quit in the first place.

Congrats on 3 years plus tnman! I'm around the same time as you and agree, it's so important to remember why we are here. Just the other day I ran into a guy I met a few times at my old brewpub hangout, hadn't seen him since I quit. Conversation was about the latest beer of course but kept myself in check and remembered why I don't go there anymore.

Congrats Tnman
I've been going around the sun for just about the same time, stone cold sober
This mode of transportation is immeasurably better than my past trips, I am never going to return to drinking because I know what it does to me and by my own hand. That said , I do miss the flavor aspect of my favorite poison, c'est la vie. I can certainly stand not being 'able' to savor that aspect, because all too often , tbt most times, the enjoyment of that aspect wasvery short lived and all I cared about was getting drunk,which is no way to go through life and I'm determined to never want to want to ever again. The further away from my last drink the less the missing and the more the not caring solidifies. As you said to those starting out 'missing out' is Sooo worth it and only becomes more so, I have yet to miss waking up on the floor realizing the heat vent just happens to be in the corner of the room, too, the right corner of the wrong room.
Still looking for a decent bourbon/whiskey flavored vape but I love skittles flavored too!

Well put, Tn man.
Congrats on your 37 months.
I, too, am sober in Knoxville, although my info on this site reflects that I am from West Tn.
I spend time in both sides of the state of Tn.
But I got sober here in Knoxville.
