21 months and forgot...

I was just shaving my head and figured out i had 21 months the day before yesterday.

I feel GOOD. Life is GOOD.

Hope is a beautiful thing.


Thanks for always being here folks, it saved my life.

Sober Recovery..

It's been six years ten months and ten days for me, if I don't drink today.
I was at the doctor the other day and he said, "so you don't drink?"
I rattled off the days and he said, " Yeah, and seven hours forty minutes fifteen seconds."
It was funny. He is obviously familiar with alcoholics.
Once in a while I forget the day, but not often. when I think of the miserable existence I had those years ago it's hard to forget. And I never want to forget.
Keep up the good work. 21 months is awesome. And don't forget how you were those months ago and realizing you never have to go back

Amen to that. An just to expound on your thought for a moment..

Someone very wise once said to me;

"If you don't drink, you won't get drunk"

what a revelation

Congratulations on 21 months, Bulldog! Hope is the essence, hope for a better non-drinking life enabled me to put down the drink for good. Not easy, but with hope, it's doable.

Haha. I thought this as well but I was pleasantly surprised. Congrats on 21 months. I thought this was a "forgot what it was like" thread for sure. I forget what it was like sometimes and that's why meetings are good for me. God willing in 16 months and 6 days I can forget I had 21 months the day before yesterday as well. Keep on trudging!

my beard has been growing for about 4 years now. It's down to the bottom of my pecs. For the last 2 years of my drinkin, it barely grew at all and the dr. told me it was from me having next to zero folic acid in my body. i have to take the suppliment now. I just wished the grey would stop!!

I don't think i'll ever forget what it was like after this last detox. It was truly terrifying.
