Wow, this was so inspirational to read through. Congrats on 7 years! How amazing! Thank you for posting all these years! |
2,781 days. Rock solid sober NEVER ever get cravings. Run more than ever. Oh how much of a changed person I am,I hope you are all well? I post little as its just not in my thought process anymore :) Will certainly post on 8 years in a few months. Grind it out,you have to get through the early days otherwise you keep having to go the the yukky early days. Peace. |
As many before me, I want to thank you for updating this thread. It is really helpful for those among us going through early days. Looking forward to your 8th year update. |
Always good to hear from you DD :) D |
Bigger, Brighter, Better Days shall prevail!!! So thankful for your story, as heartbreaking as it was, your resolve within it was deafening!!! Happy for you and I hope your daughter is ok... |
Ahh rookie mistake lol I just realized that this thread is a time capsule of your amazing adventure.... Amazing!!! |
I thought you were being a bit harsh on yourself in that first post. I’m sure we all had that feeling that drinking comes before everything. Thanks for still posting after so many years sober. I’m guessing the original post was your very first post here, so it’s brilliant you stuck at it. Glad things worked out for your daughter too. I’m sure you can take a lot of credit there. |
Thank you for keeping SR updated on your sobriety; recovery is possible and a wonderful thing 🙏 |
Thanks Thank you all and especially to Dee👍 Daughter fantastic now finished her Masters and now working in a top London museum. She also does not drink because I encouraged her from younger age try not follow the crowd and be cool be sober. Thanks again ! |
Morning all. 8 years stone cold sober ! I cannot believe it is 8 years since I came here and posted my original post, unbelievable! I am a different person totally now in every aspect. Need to thank this forum/Dee and many others that got me on my way 8 years ago. Honestly mind over matter, grind it. Love you all. |
Congrats on 8 years DD! |

I was at the height of my addiction at that time (2012) so I always feel a connection when people mention that time period. :You_Rock_ |
DD, Every time I see this thread I read your original post again. You have helped so many people my friend. Keep on keeping on. X |
Your story is amazing DD. I am living in Day 53 here and it really helps us newbies to hear from you long-term sober vets. Your first post was so hard for me to read because I did versions of that so many times. I don't want to forget those times but I hope the guilt and shame abates over time. Thank you so much for posting on your 8 year mark. Wow. I cannot even get my head around 8 years. |
Congratulations on 8 years sober and thanks for continuing to update the thread! |
Congratulations!! We may vacate from SR a bit (and create a sober life) & remain sober, too cool.... |
Wonderful story. Thank you. |
You will

Never go back no matter how hard you may find it in early day’s,because you will have to go through the early days yet again :) Not drinking AlcoHELL is simply liberating, it buys time. |
