1234 days sober!

Hahaha! Not a "landmark" but MIR's post (2400 days) made me wonder how many days I've been sober. Plugging my date into an online calculator it spat out 1234 days. Funny number, no?

Congrats MoS: it might be a goofy number but it is also a testimony to your dedication to abstinence

Respect

Some of the best people I know are drug people. Living with the possibility, 24/7, with the option to just take a drink or a pill and supplant all the misery, and refusing. I sincerely hope that by the time I hit 1 year, the cravings will be tolerable, though I am told they never go away completely.

Congratulations on staying strong for so long. That couldn't have been easy, but you did it none the less.

Fantastic, MoS! Thank you for sharing this unique milestone!

Newcomers, it may seem so far away for you to see these big numbers but the truth is people like MoS and MIR -- and all of us who've been around a while -- all started where you are. These milestones, which are a frequent feature here, really serve a great purpose: It really is possible to relegate alcoholism/addiction to the past.

Good job! The next task is to add a "5" to the end of your number.

For me sobriety was like skydiving- it took me 25 years to muster up the courage to leap out that door, but falling it pretty easy. The first step is a doozy!
