That said, I have been sober since the eighties – the nineteen eighties for any of you wise guys. LOL.
I completely understand what you are saying about people sometimes mistaking quantity with quality of sobriety.

I am thankful that I have gotten that reminder here on this thread. There have been a couple of sobriety dates that surprised me as I would have thought the posters had double digit years from reading their posts but they did not. We have many here who have quality sobriety and I truly respect each of them whether they have 1 day or 50 years.

Thanks for helping me stay sober today.

I've got a friend that's coming up on 24 years

He said, I was a drunken SOB

Take the drinking away, I was still an SOB

I had to change who, I was to be a good person.

Drug free since 21st May 2005 and loving life as it is.

I put em down, left em down, looked at me and changed. All this by simply admitting I was powerless and that my life was unmamageable, I asked for help and with the help of other addicts in recovery I have freedom and a wonderful life.

Don't miss this bus I tried everything and this is the bus that worked for me.

Kevin
