2 years since I lost my bank card.)
 
yep have not lost my bank card as leaving it in a machine after taking money out in 2 years. For some reason I'd get drunk at the bars and need more money...take money out and leave the card...Here in Thailand you don't just get your card back...it's a process to get a new one.....not fun...

Not to much into counting days and months but will keep track of the years for now.

2 years ago I said to myself....after the "big plan"

I will never drink again and I will NEVER change my mind..

In 2 years one goes though all the so called tests...people have passed away, I have gone on a 2 week vacation ......drove by many bars...no more bottoms...just up we go...in a peaceful way.

I can do it...you can too..

Congratulations Stewart :)

Just for the record, you don't get your card back here in Australia either (unless you know the local branch staff really well, lol)

I wonder what the Drunkard -> ATM Machine interaction will be like come widespread deployment of Retinal or Fingerprint ID as one's 'Password'?

Congrats Stewart! I know what you mean - I remember waking up fuzzy after a long day of drinking, checking my wallet and wondering where I left my ATM card. Usually it was at a bar. It would be a "scavenger hunt" to retrace my steps. I also had that happen with my car once or twice. Pretty scary stuff!

Nice work on 2 years buddy! Keep the sober good times rolling, it's certainly nice on this side of the fence, ain't it?

one time I was smarter then you because I took my bankcard.

unfortunately I left the $100 I took out of the atm.....surprisingly the cash wasn't there when i realized this a bit later and turned back..lucky guy who found that $100

I lost my wallet this x-mas eve drunk to my utter shame. I haven't drank since. I also lost my e-cigarette but I lost it hours after I'd realized I'd lost my wallet. Just a stupid drunk not taking care of myself or my things. I'm still cringing in shame about how sauced I got..... Never again.
