I'm 6 years sober and 6 years out of hospital

The 6 years sober I’m happy about and the 6 years out of hospital is just a fun fact really.

I credit A.A. with the 6 years sober. I had to get help as I couldn’t quit on my own and I got lucky and they helped.

When I went to them I thought alcohol was worth dying for.

I started A.A. in 2003 but got drunk 6 years ago. I’d love to make it to 10 years sober.

It’s a great feeling.

@roxanna like I said staying out of hospital is just a fun fact. I wouldn’t feel bad at all if I had to go back in. If you ever need to go in then it’s the best thing to do.

That’s an amazing amount of time @everhopeful

Congrats

I was 2 weeks sober from binge eating except this evening. But it’s an exception not a habitual thing so Im not going to beat myself up.
If I die young because of tonight’s binge eating at least my family will know not to mess with food.

Congrats again though big respect for 6 years I’m sure u can make it to ten and onwards

Congratulations on 6 years sobriety. I’m currently 8 years out of the hospital. I still drink on occasion. I think if I quit my AP I would cling to the bottle again heavily.

One day at a time. It’s a cliche because it’s true.

Congrats on 6 years sober. Whatever you are doing to keep sober keep doing it because it’s working. A huge part of my recovery is not hanging around people who drink or do drugs or hanging around places where there’s alcohol and drugs being used.
Good luck on having continuous sobriety.
