I have not had a drink in 5 years. Tonight I'm going out with my girlfriend to celebrate!!! Life sober is so much better than drunk!

Congratulations DePressMe!! As a fellow alcoholic in recovery, I know how hard it can be some days to make it day by day, and 5 years is good work. Keep it going!!

Congratulations! That's inspiring news. Hope you had a nice celebration with your friend. Well, anyway, I guess life is much more a celebration, being sober.
Thanks for this!
