Me? I'm doing fine....I got 7 1/2 years

While I'm on Storm2K 14 hours a day, ignoring everything and drinking loads of caffeine to stay awake....I am not thinking about having a drink at all! :wink:

JEVO........!!!!!!!!!!!

Unless you have some personal experience with what these folks are saying................you have no idea how hard it is for them and how proud they should be of themselves for the progress they have made!!! My congratulations and wishes for continued success to them.

Respectfully,

Homey

Congratulations to you all on your success. My father-in-law has been sober for 20 years but he says that it's times like this that making him think about a drink. Instead of drinking he decided this time to spend MANY hours putting together a mini John Deere tractor for our 3 year old for his birthday. What a great grandpa!

7 years 8 months here; haven't even thought about a drink. But...all those plastic Folger's coffee cans came in handy during the week we were in a "boil water" alert that people made fun of me for saving :lol:

Personally, I need a 12-step program for canetracker addiction. But I guess many people on S2k would fall into that category.

If I don't quit staying up late drinking beer and Mike's Hard Lemonaid, watching S2K and chatting, I'm going to also need AA and some sort of diet plan.

Congratulations to all of you who are remaining on your programs at this very stressful time. Way to go.

Doing good, with a little help from the serenity prayer now and then. :-)

Way to go you guys. I commend all of you who are dealing with this without relapse. I am not in a program but used to work with people in a professional capacity, many of whom were. I know it is a very difficult thing to do with so many stressful things occuring as have this summer and into the fall. Glad to hear you are handling it well. I hope I did not offend anyone as none was intended.

Luv Winter
