I am not an addict of anything aside from Internet :) It's good to know you can be sober for so many years Hubby is still trying to quit smoking he doesn't smoke as much as he used to but quitting doesn't seem easy to do for now

Good on you AGB - I know that can't have been easy and it takes a very strong person to stay clean and sober so long you should be really proud of yourself. I haven't used or had a problem with drink but i have recently quit smoking and I know how difficult that was so I have so much respect for you! I am glad that you have met many good people via the AA and am sure it makes life a lot better. WEll done AGB - I have always told you that you were amazing! Hugs and many Congrats xxxxx

Congratulations! That really is an achievement to be proud of! Luckily I have not been in your situation and I thank myself lucky I never went down that path. Keep up the good work.

Congratulations! It takes lot of strenght to do what you did and stay on the straigt and narrow.

Hi GRANDPA BOB, Congratulations of your 18 years of been sober, well done to you and you are an inspiration, I wish my brother can become sober but he just won't listen to any of us, I know its hard but there isen't any of us can do, but its nice to haear a sucess story like your. Tamara

Congradulations Keep up the good work. You are doing great.

Bob, congrats on your time in recovery. For us that are blessed, one day clean and sober is worth congrats. I got clean and sober 22 years ago after the heat got unbearable. I live in a small town of 224 people in southwest Missouri. We have 3 meetings a week, one is a womens meeting. I had an uncle in Kansas City that got sober in 1949. He was from this area where I live. When I told him about our meeting in this small town, he just couldn't believe it. So, when it come time for him to get his 50 year chip, he came to this small town (his old stomping grounds) and got his 50 year chip. The man was legally blind, used a walker, couldn't hear that well, but, when he spoke he showed the younger A.A.s what was possible through the 12 steps and the A.A. way of life. Glad you are here Bob, keep coming back.

i have not gone through what you have gb, but you have made quite an accomplishment! you should be very proud of yourself for making this committment. from what i understand, its not easy!

Congratulations, Grandpa Bob! That's a great accomplishment to be proud of!

i salute you friend. its a hard thing to stay away from for some. i used to drink a lot 20yrs ago. my last hubby is what had me quit. he didnt insist. he just didnt like to kiss or be around me much when i was doing it. he was so good to me and i was so happy for the first time in my life, i just didnt need it any more.

I have never been an alcholic and I don't want to be!
