It's beautiful, simply beautiful.
We can and do recover. This post is living proof of that.
Viva sobriety! Viva recovery!

The other day my wife asked me to dig through the closet to find her snow boots and I came across a secret stash of beer that I had some how forgotten about. The born on date on the bottom of the can was from April, I dumped them.

I've certainly found empty bottles... God, it is such a disgusting feeling for me. {shiver}
One of the things I've run into, that I never considered was... I have to change a lot of the things I cook now, because I used a great deal of recipes that called for wine/sherry/etc. Of course the alcohol burns off in the cooking process, but it adds such an amazing flavor... I'm so bummed, at least, about this part of my life with no alcohol. I have found 'Cooking Sherry' with no alcohol for replacement in some dishes... but some stuff, I just can't cook anymore.
That's a little off topic, I know... but back to the empties... if there are any left in the house, I just hope it's me who finds them.

I guess we are all a bunch of hoarders...LOL
Just a week or so ago, I found a few cans of beer inside of a pair of boots. Just dumped them in the bathroom sink and laughed. The things we do and the things we done, priceless.

Glad you dumped it out.

I found some vodka and beer (opened) in a drawer in my workshop about 6 months after I quit. I was surprised, I thought I had thoroughly cleaned up eveything. It wasn't really very well hidden and I was surprised nobody else had found it. It upset me a bit, I was worried my wife might have found it and thought I was drinking again.

Agree on cleaning out the house. For me....guess it was sometime after I quit my other half was looking for a casserole dish and low and behold was a 1/2 box of wine all the way in the back. It was tossed immediately and all I could think was....how glad I was to be free of that life.
Thx for sharing

I've never found full bottles of liquor, only empty bottles that I'd hidden and didn't want my husband to find in the trash.
There was never anything leftover for me to save, so I never would have found a bottle with anything in it.
I also never forgot where I left a full/halffull bottle, no matter what LOL.
Like misa, I would never have left those bottles 'undrunk'.
Empties only...

Yeah I don't think that would ever happen to me either. I had GPS and satellite tracking on my bottles lol. I would stash empties though, so my wife wouldn't find them. When I gave up I had around 14 bottles in various places, all bone dry.

Anytime Kjell, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Upstairs, any luck in getting rid of those handles?
