Ten Years Sober

Quit drinking and started AA ten years ago. Life has been much better since.
Would celebrate at a meeting, but the meetings are in a small room in a church basement. Masks are required, but it is hard to get some to wear masks and air circulation is nil.
Bob, Don, and I are celebrating with takeout from the closest upscale restaurant at noon.
Bob is buying!!!!

Congratulations!

I am particularly impressed you were able to stick with it for the last year and a half. I’ve never been much of a drinker myself but I’ve considered going the other direction here during the pandemic…

Congrats!

This is a remarkable achievement!

I once saw someone die from alcoholism. It wasn't pretty.

Yes it is. I live about a mile and a half downriver.
The food was great. Dessert was a flourless chocolate torte which is Kryptonite to me.

Thank you. Did a lot of AA meetings on Zoom. Those ended when the pandemic "ended".
WTF???

Thank you all.
Your comments gave me a break from patting myself on the back.
