15 years sober!!!!!
- Thread starter rgkv
- Start date
Everyone going through the same thing needs that eye-opener or that kick in the butt to get the ball rolling on quitting. Congratulations! Keep telling your story!
Too bad the financial stuff kicked you when you were down, but my every best wish and congratulations for getting back up and staying. And we should all take note of that huge healthcare cost that OHIP usually keeps us unaware of, although painfully not in your case.
I'm another on your wagon since the late 90's, so I raise my glass of gin-free tonic to the next fifteen, yours mine, and everyone else's who has a son or daughter or sweetheart who now looks on silently through slitted eyes while they take theirs with gin.
Congrats my friend. My Father is now 35 years sober as well. You did the right thing for you and your offspring. He actually went to Donwood those many moons ago. Had to go on Antibuse(the drug) for 2 years.
My bet is your family is very very proud of you for stepping up. And that your old school father wouldn't have given a rats ass if you were emotional about it, but only that he too would be proud of the real man his son became. You did right when it mattered most.
So revel in it a bit. You deserve it.

Congratulations! Yes it is possible and you are the proof my friend! Once again, congrats!
Much respect brother...you are an inspiration to many and I commend your strength and courage. You have lots of love and support here and keep it up brother, however I hope I never see you say the same about this hobby
Hobby till we die
Congrats !! Many people shouldn't be drinking....
Like this idiot that just got out of jail for killing a kid DWI in 2004 and what does he do hits the liquor store when out. The stores luckily had his pic and called the cops and he got rearrested. How sick can this be?

CONGRATULATIONS! I love hearing about people re discovering them selves / transforming! It is truly a beautiful thing
Been there as well. Haven't had a drink in 29 years and don't plan to either.
RGKV keep your head up high and live everyday with vigour because you have given yourself a second chance.

Congratulations. You should be very proud, I know what you did was not easy. I am terrible with remembering dates, but one date I will never forget is the day I took my Uncle to rehab. This was June 14, 2009. His life was a mess. I am happy to report that he has not had a drink, since.
go easy on the guy.
it can easily be argued that guys that pay for sex suffer from a sex addiction and are paying big money to fuel their addiction. same thing basically.
Good to see so many folk have dealt with the problem. I know how meaningful it is as I have seen so many men and women fall by the wayside. I have been sober for 30 plus years and count my blessings.
