Well thought I'd check in after all this time!! 
Alcohol for me has been a double edged sword, my dad was an alcoholic, and I became an alcoholic, seeing things from both sides has allowed me to contribute to many areas of the Forum.
One day alcohol simply stopped working for me, a Friday evening in November 2013 was the final straw, things couldn't continue, another hangover at work and feeling like death, but something was different, I really really wanted to quit this time, I wanted a new life away from alcohol, I wanted this for me.
Since then I've been an active member of SR, this place has been a great place for support, I read, I post, I get involved with as many threads as I can, I'm a big sport lover so very big on sports threads, many people find sport and drinking inseparable, but if I can do it so can others!!
I guess over 1yr on, my life is unrecognisable from what it used to be, and if I can help others on my journey then that is a great thing!!

Walking thru whole foods today, a lady hit me up with a wine and cheese sample. I said no thank you, but felt a little caught off guard and uneasy. Weird after all this time, especially considering I serve wine to people all the time at work. Anyway, thought I'd check in and see how you guys are doing

Doing fine, Siesta. I know what you mean about wine and cheese tastings--they somehow seem warmer and more inviting than merely pouring the liquid into a glass. All is well on the home front, and I'm still taking classes and loving it.

Hi, Notimetoloose! How interesting your.timing is in posting; I got on here yesterday by chance and looked for this thread and gave up because it was so far back!
Now this morning I chance to come on SR and here it is!
Good to see you! Thanks for bringing us back from the depths!

Hi Gilmer, I did the same and did a search for the latest thread.
I am glad that you are here...I hit the thousand day mark earlier in the month and want to share with my fellow Nov/13...feels good and worth marking the milestone...

Congratulations on your 1000 days Gilmer....
Did you know that you are at 1000 + day mark?
I was anticipating it...looking forward to it ..sometimes I feel still so new to sobriety!
When I first came here I would see posters with12 months and think they were amazing and what was there secret.
