    14 years for me. Sometimes I’ve really wanted one, a cold beer on a hot summers day, but nope, I’ve carried on knowing I’ll never have a hangover again!

      People who is able to manage rather than abstain are stronger. There is no need to drink but there is no need to abstain either.

    "Do you want to live or die". THAT is the question to which we must be rigorously honest. If we want to live, then we must surrender to "living differently". For me, living differently was about going to meetings, cleaning house, and helping others. With all due respect to Anthony, "hanging in there", and "fighting" is a recipe for failure! "Surrender" is the basis for long term sobriety. After that, it's about what I do, NOT what I think, or say.
    I have been continuously sober for more than 27 years, and my life is better than ever. Why? Because I continue to go to meetings, clean house, and help others. My sobriety begins and ends with my feet! All the best...Mark
