One Year Sober Today
It's a banner day in the CR83 house. I made a decision on 10-28-07 to stop drinking for good. I battled the sauce a bit and it caused some real
problems in my life so I decided to give it up.
My last drunk was a good one too. I'm glad I made this choice and it really helped me and Mrs. R83 get even closer. My daughter also really digs
straight edge tunes.
1 year down and about 50 or 60 more to go. Good times.
P.S. It is also my dog's 2nd birthday. We got him a new black leather collar with some metal studs on it. He's stoked

Thanks everyone! Even you Paulie. I know it comes from a good place.
xhonusx not sure if my friend has been as successful as I have. When I don't hear from him, it usually means he has strayed. We'll see. I would
still use what you sent though. I love it.

I haven't had a drink in about two months now. It was fucking with the meds I was on which in turn fucked with my mental stability and landed me in
the psych ward twice.
I miss booze.

I've never had an addiction problem, but I work with people who struggle with it daily. Keep it up. It's not easy.

Good for you. I've been clean of all the shit I used to do for so long now that I can honestly say I sometimes forget just how hard it was to get away
from. My main struggle with maintaining sobriety these days is trying to keep in mind that it really was a matter of life and death for me. It's kind
of a fucked up reminder for me when I hear about or talk to people who have had their own issues much more recently, so for that little reminder I
thank you.
