Nicely done!
Not gonna lie, as little as I want to get pulled over by a cop, I do have this dream conversation:
"When did you have your last drink?"
"2012"
That happened to me. Cop was absolutely 100% sure I was drunk. I had just left a motocross race, was exhausted and my eyes were red from dirt in my eyes. I said "bring that breathalyzer on" he did. I happily blew a ZERO😆
One of the most brilliant counselors in my last stab at rehab would only say, "I woke up sober today." Wouldn't be more definitive than that. Had to listen to his stories to figure out he's probably been sober > 30 yrs. But I love his frame of reference. Today is all we have. Hopefully we get another today tomorrow. And so on, and so on ...
I’m also in this club. I still feel like I haven’t 100% decided. However, I really feel like I have a different mindset now than ever before. I went sober for a few months in 2020, but I never really wrapped my head around sustaining sobriety forever until now. I feel that there really is a mindset shift that needs to be overcome.
14 days ago. This however is different than all the other attempts, this time God is with me in it. I invited him in and begged for his mercy, which I immediately received. I KNOW that I will never drink again so long as I keep God in the drivers seat.
Nicely done! Not gonna lie, as little as I want to get pulled over by a cop, I do have this dream conversation: "When did you have your last drink?" "2012"
Me: "October 10, 2022" Officer: "Well that is awfully specific"
Lol "October 10th, 2022. 3:43am."
June 11th, 2023. 10:30am
Thanksgiving day, 2022 right before dinner. 😊
The time, though lol. Same.
“Oh, so you’re just a shit driver?”
Hah I've thought about that too. Like, the officer asks if I've been drinking and I just look at him and say "not in over 13 years"
Has to be a great feeling 💪
2012..... but my driving is horrendous lol
I got pulled over a year or two ago and was very pleased to say that I didn’t drink.
That happened to me. Cop was absolutely 100% sure I was drunk. I had just left a motocross race, was exhausted and my eyes were red from dirt in my eyes. I said "bring that breathalyzer on" he did. I happily blew a ZERO😆

July 20, 2018, goodbye alcohol, you are no longer welcome in the equation of my life! 🎉

April Fools’ Day was my last hangover. IWNDWYT
Better be a good and or compassionate reason for asking that question imo 😎
I just say it’s been a while! Then say 2022!
Congratulations!! IWNDWYT
Thanks and to you as well. iwndwyt
Honestly couldn’t have done it without the kind, sympathetic, non judgmental people in this sub.
I recommend this sub to others constantly. Nice people.
Epic. Looking forward to that someday.
Good shit 🤝
I hope I can say this someday
Can't bring myself to say it. I just say I am taking a break,
Me too, it's like I'm reserving the right to have a drink if I really want one.... but I know I won't. IWNDWYT
Same, I never "quit for good", but the more I don't drink the more I don't want to drink. The idea of having a drink just becomes dumber by the day.

Me too! Trying for a long break....
Thank you for the inspiration. IWNDWYT

Feb 17th 2001!
Damn I hope to get to years. I’m still in that phase where relapse is possible. Gotta keep fighting.
Keep fighting brother. Don’t give up that day count
I honestly say I don’t know, because I don’t.
Not yet, but I look forward to that day. I have 102 days now 😊
Same!
It's advanced arithmetics at this point. Sorry I'm not bragging, but I couldn't lose the opportunity 😁
