Congratulations, **scott**! As an associate of several recovering alcoholics, I’ve seen how tough the struggle can be, and how great the rewards are. Perseverance will get you nothing but good. Keep it up! 🙂 ---

Way to go, man. It does get easier and easier. I’m working on 13 years—or 14, I can’t remember! I do remember thinking that life just wouldn’t be any _fun_ anymore. Boy, was I ever wrong! It’s lots of fun to wake up in the morning without a hangover, knowing what happened the night before, and still have money in your pocket! No DWI’s, no drunken fights… I saw ZZ Top in concert in my first few months of sobriety. I can still remember it! Good luck to you, and **whoop-de-doo** for one month clean! ---

Congrats, **Scott/Peter** , that’s great!!! It sounds like you’ve made a huge step in your life - well, several steps, really, and I’m sure that will be very rewarding (probably already is). Take care of yourself, respect yourself. The rest will follow. 🙂 🙂 🙂 Best wishes - Kn\*ckers ---
