I haven’t had a drink or a drug in 17 years.
Yeah, I think it’s pretty amazing too.
Good for you!
Go for another 17. At least.
What made you choose this day to turn your life around?
That’s wonderful! You must feel great…I raise a glass of diet Coke and toast to many more happy years.
Congratulations! That’s an amazing acheivement and a testament to you as a person.
I just wanted to add my congratulations, too.

Congrats
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
—whew, that’s a lot of exclamation points!----
Anyway, good job! You should be proud of yourself. I bet it took a lot of work and you deserve the congratulations!
Great!
Fantastic. Congratulations, and many more happy 24s.

Congrats! Best Wishes for the New Year.
Good job! You deserve to be proud of yourself. Continue to treat yourself well, friend.
Congratulations. I am happy for you.
Thanks all. (sniff) I appreciate your good wishes.
GOM – it turned out to be coincidence that my sobriety birthday is the winter solstice! (And also coincidence that I quit smoking on the vernal equinox, though that, alas, was only 4 yearsago). I was teaching at the time, and wanted to finish the semester, so I went into treatment [28 days, in-patient, AA-based] over Christmas break.
scott evil – yes, I’ve been aware that you’ve beome another friend of Bill’s – and I’m following your adventures with great interest. You take care of yourself, kiddo.
Again, thanks, all. I’m ridiculously touched by your responses.
Congratulations! 12-1/2 years here. My sober birthday is the day after the anniversary of the founding of AA (June 10, 1935 for those playing along at home). I dig it. Keep on doing it, one day at a time!
Congrats!!!
6 years and counting
Cheers and many more! 16.5 months for me. Longest of my life.
Congrats!!!
That is a wonderful accomplishment!
Hey geobabe, ya got 10 days on me! Time sure takes time, doesn’t it?
Ye gods, that time has been the greatest of my life!
ODAAT, twickster!
Approaching 2.5 years here…

Raises a glass to you
Grats…
