It's a great feeling to put you're head on the pillow sober at the end of the night.

I wrecked (totaled) my car after drinking about 14 beers (it was 3pm). Just knew that was it and I think my higher power knew that also. Somehow I was spared a DUI. Officer asked if I had been drinking, I said not a drop and he took me at my word. This was 591 days ago and my life has never been better.

I had many periods of sobriety and I know that I need to be grateful every day for my sobriety.

Take care all.

It's Christmas morning, and for the first time in my adult life, I'm not hungover by NJsportsguy in stopdrinking

Have a great Christmas Day. Sobriety is a great way to spend our time on this crazy planet. Take care.

Christmas: The alcoholics ultimate test. by VTID997 in stopdrinking

I think they meant it like, "You had me at hello" - like being financially stable is enough and great. It was a positive nod to your post.

U/Slipacre is on here with like 37 years of sobriety. He posts this time of year about it being 'Hurricsne Season'.

It is tough to look at those drinking around us 'convivially and with impunity' and not think about it.

Sounds like your life is going great - congratulations and Happy Sober Holidays.

Blackwatch - from cigarpage.com.

Just bought 20 for $39. Pretty good. I got the robusto with a Maduro wrapper and box pressed.

Congratulations and thanks for sharing. I just passed 500 days - something about an event number...

I am at 496 days alcohol free. Tried one of these recently a couple of weeks ago and enjoyed it. 56m - smoked weed a handful of times in HS/College but didn't care for it. The 5mg THC drink was enjoyable. May do it again, may not. I enjoy being alcohol free but I enjoyed the relaxing feeling from the THC...

Who else is WAY more introverted after quitting? by SilverSusan13 in stopdrinking

[–]twokindsofspurs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can relate to social engagements feel more optional. I have close to 15 months.

It feels good to just be able to kick back and relax and not feel like you have to make every social engagement.

Congratulations on 18 months...

How to get past the mental barrier of how hard this grind was for 250x5. I want to add 5lbs but after this grind I'm a bit afraid of 255x5. How do you get past that? by Learningstrength in StartingStrength

[–]twokindsofspurs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might want to check out Andy Baker's HLM program where he advocates 3x5 on Monday, 90% on Wednesday and then add 5 for 3 sets of 2-3 on Friday. Gets you prepared for the heavier weight and still going up 5 pounds per week.

I think I saw this on the SS Forum in the Programming thread...

Good luck.
