I didn't drink today.
 

Well, I didn't drink yesterday and it's after midnight so I've officially been sober for eleven years.
I couldn't have done it without finding a power greater than myself, AA and this place.

I was a low bottom drunk. It took me ten years of trying to make it this far.
So just remember, no matter how low you feel you've sunk. No matter if it takes a few, or many, tries at sobriety it can be done.

Just don't stop trying. Never stop trying.
I, throughout those ten years, never quit trying.
Do what you need to do. Whatever that is.

Best to you all. And thank you on these forums for being here.

Congratulations on your 11 years! :c011:

Thank you for being such an inspiration.
Absolutely...Amazing!

Congratulations, ghostlight! You’re an inspiration to so many of us here, I’m grateful you’re with us to share your wisdom.

I love the sentiment.

Whatever it takes, how long it takes, how many "do-overs" it takes.

I notice lately a diminishing amount of patience by folks for others who have had a few do-overs, even those who have had a fair number themselves.

Makes me sad, we are here to support each other whatever it takes. We can do tough love, love-love, but walking away is not cool to my way of thinking.

Thanks!!

Very glad to have you around the place Ghostlight - congrats on 11 years :)

Congratulations on 11 years Ghostlight !

Congrats on 11 years sober! :hug:

Wow, 11 years is awesome! I'm the same, it's the support of other alcoholics and doing service that we don't drink one day at a time. Last time I checked I had over 10,000 days.

That's awesome! Yes, the support of other alcoholics and service to them is key for me, too.
It got me this far. One day at a time...

11 years! That is magnificent, Ghostlight. So glad you are here with us.

Congratulations. Thank you for passing on the message! Merry Christmas to you ..

...and Happy Christmas to you, well into your second sober decade....

Well done on 11 years. :scoregood

Congratulations on 11 years!
