Thanks so much for the post. It really does come down to just saying never again and sticking by that, even though it's hard. Thanks for being an inspiration.

SO proud of you mecanix. That was a wonderful post & will be truly helpful to those just starting out, filled with misery and hopelessness. You're living proof we can cast aside the old ways and reach out for a new life. I commend you!

I did not mean to offend or break your calm and I am definitely not proud. I am very aware that alcoholism is disgusting etc. and would not have quit if I didn't realize the damage...I was merely curious because I am shocked that I could drink that much for so long and honestly did not think at one time that 2 bottles was a lot! That's all. I know it was not the point...I apologize!! Sometimes in meetings it breaks the ice a little to admit just how much we really drank!

Some have just started and some are well travelled.

I hope your calm has been found and you are back in your happy place?!

Wishing you the best xxxx
I apologize...I just asked a stupid questions that's all! I understand addiction really well and have been sober for 16 months. That's still new I realize but I am getting there. Again I apologize!

I was going to post the normal "CONGRATS!" on this thread (which is still in order of course), but then I saw it was a Mecanix post and thought....I'd better read what this chap has to say. And, without fail, you've rewarded us once again.

Thanks much for everything. People like you are what make this board worthwhile, at least for me. I often get a lot out of your thoughts and musings. I like how you just post what you think, instead of what you think people want to hear. It's fun to look inside your brain every once in a while. You're a gem, pal. Job well done. It's easy to see these past two years have treated you well.

Congratulations and a HUGE thank you for all the inspiration, "real talk" and everything else you shared with us. It made a difference, in a good way.

Hugs and prayers,
