And how much were you drinking at the time? Just curious.

I was 28 when I got sober, it was a painful withdrawal, I was drinking about a fifth and a half of 100 proof a day. I'm so glad I don't ever have to go through that again.

I wish I had gotten it sooner. I was 43 when I finally got it. I was drinking up to 4 bottles of wine a day. Oh, well. At least I finally got it. I didn't think I ever would. Thank goodness for hope and a solution.

44. My usual week night was a litre and 1/2 of wine and a 1/2 a fifth of rum or vodka. The weekends, well the sky was the limit. I started the day with a vodka and water before work...as I neared the end of my drinking career. I am soooo GRATEFUL that I have no desire to do any of that anymore....

Got sober at 36. First went to rehab and AA/NA when I was 33 so I was no 90 day wonder. But I still consider myself lucky I didn't take any longer than I did.

I am now 58.

48. Around a 12 pack a day. Every day.

Damn, I'm glad I don't have to do that EVER AGAIN.

23. 12+ beers everyday for 7 years and a pill addiction in the last year. Extremely thankful to be done with both and grateful to be here.

FBL

Age 43. Drank 12-18 beers per day, EVERY day (even more on the weekends) for nearly 10 years. For the twenty years prior to that, I was mostly a weekend binger. Been sober for nearly 8 months and don't miss it one bit.

31. At least a pint of whiskey (if not more, depending), and plenty of cheap beer to accompany. Could be a post work thing, could be an all day thing. Definitely a never again thing.

I was 40 when I found recovery. During the year leading up to my last drink, I was drinking everyday and most days at 5am in morning because I couldn't leave the house without it. I was an alcoholic trapped in denial for years before it got that bad though.

28. Up to 12 beers plus roughly half a pint of hard liquor 3-4 nights a week. Won't ever miss it, glad I'm done with that.

Saddler

39, but have recently had slips so I'm still working on it (started thinking I was "cured" after about 9 months). I usually only drank every other day because my hangovers were so devastating. Typical day it would be 2 24oz beers or "energy" malt liquors on the way home, then maybe a half pint+ whiskey, then more beer or wine. Basically I would drink anything once I had those 1st two drinks.
