Just a quick note that today is the 23rd anniversary of my sobriety date, or, in AA terms, “my birthday”. In two more months and 5 days I will actually have been clean and sober for exactly half of my life. My main problem was booze followed by speed and weed. I also smoked, but quit that by accident while going through withdrawal for the first three (anyone who says weed isn’t addictive is an idiot).
Mainly I’m happy not to have that crap ruling my life anymore, and I’m especially glad my daughter has never seen me doing the ‘mean drunk’ thing. I am now off to eat bacon, which I probably shouldn’t, but a man shouldn’t have to give up all his vices.
Congratulations! I wish I could say that. I’m faced with needing to change my eating and exercise habits, as well as alcohol habits. I got a bad checkup, and the doctor told me I need to lose weight.
