Just when you think it's too much - read your first post
I hope Monday bids you all well (ba hahaha who am I kidding, its Monday!
Anyhow, I had a bit of a bum fri/sat (nothing serious just AV issues) and I had this thought. I wonder what I wrote when I first signed up.
Found it easily (just go to "My Posts" on your tool bar and find your first msg,) gave it a read and went "Wow, I've come a long way,even though its been only a short time.
Don't forget to check your "Title" too, it may remind you of how you felt at the time when you wrote your post.

I have been alcohol free for 13 days 23 hours 0 minutes and 29 seconds!
I did not spend $207.08 on beer!
I did not drink 106 cans of beer, or 8 glasses of beer at the bar!
Just my nickel (we don't have penny's in Canada anymore)

Dryroastjim...love the way you put that!
I've been sober 55 days, 23 hours and 25 minutes!
I did not drink 500+ vodka redbulls, rum & cokes or shots of liquor
I did not spend $1,343 on vodka and sugar free redbull...and drinking at bars!
I had to add it up for myself. ..how cool is that! 1k+! That's a lot of money that isn't being spent on alcohol, drink mixers and bars!

Amongst other things, I've also learned to be humble, and to be thankful for the little things that help us get to a sober free life.
Take care and be well!
