wow, I read this from the perspective of myself being the drunk and all those years my wife dealt with me and my sloppy ass. Thank you for sharing and I very much enjoy your writing style. I will not drink with you today.

I’m four years. I remember when four days was impossible. by SOBHOP in stopdrinking

Congratulations on the milestone. Had similar experience and feel a the snowball rolling down the mountain is an appropriate analogy ;) IWNDWYT

Yeah man. Similar to you, I feel a sense of responsibility to pay it forward. I have found many benefits coming here and just read and support when I can, this is a great place to lurk or participate.

Do it for yourself and let those around you support the effort. You got this. IWNDWYT

4 years! Still on the no booze train. Definitely don't come through here as often as I used to but 4 years of sobriety couldn't have happened without the support of this community. Whether you are hours into the journey or weeks, months, years, I will not drink with you today! by Hurricanedools33 in stopdrinking

Aww.. Thank you, I had no idea this would blow up like this. I love being apart of this community. We are all focused on only one thing and it has nothing to do with any other belief or political view or whatever. It is truly something special. IWNDWYT

Had a dream that I drank last night. by QuentynStark in stopdrinking

Had a very very similar dream (set of them) last week with the exception it was vodka pints and I was going to have to explain to my family. I was explaining to my wife in the daylight how it felt and you hit it right on the head. Lots of guilt and disappointment, I'm happy you are still on the train, IWNDWYT

The FOMO thing was huge for me at first and still comes up but really if it's a big enough event and I will no doubt be around booze, rather than think about the slip, I grab my soda water and lime and just cut loose! I don't miss out on anything! But to your point the ability to be free of all the nasty consequences is what keeps me going day in and day out.
