2 years! WAY to go!

I can't wait to be able to (hopefully) say that/post that here someday- I come up to 2 'measly' months in a couple days, haha!

Great, great job!

Congratulations!!!!!! Amazing how you just realized it had been 2 years, shows that the obsession really can be changed with enough sober time. You're my inspiration today!

Great, great job!

I remember how amazed and how proud of myself I was when I reached two 'measly' months, and you should be too! Seems like not so long ago I was in awe of those who managed to go a few months or even years without drinking. Now I am one of them! I'm must doing (or rather not doing) what the rest of you are though- nothing special about it.

I didn't "just notice" the date; I had been thinking about it for a few weeks. But then I got busy and it snuck up on me, didn't put two and two together til I saw the date in the bottom corner of my computer screen.

Beyond landmark dates (one year, two years) I don't count days at all anymore. I'm not 'recovering' I'm recovered. Don't get me wrong- I know full well that if I ever drink I'll be at least as bad off as I was 2 years ago if not worse. But now not drinking is the default for me. In the beginning it was hard not to drink but now I'd have to make a special effort and go out of my way to get wine. And I don't want to!
