Yay Me

Five years ago today I set the bottle down and walked away.

To say I was a raging alcoholic would be a major understatement.

One thing I can say is that there are still times when that little voice in my head tries a little sweet talking and I have to tell it to shut the fuck up.


That raging alcoholic asshole is only one drink away and I know it.

I'm still an asshole, I just don't drink.

Can't have everything now, can we?

Congratulations; that took courage! Glad you are able to continue your day to day fight; too many fail in that.

Congrats! Five years sober is a major accomplishment! Keep it up.

I too, have been sober for a few years, the number is irrelevant here, and I'm still an asshole, but there have been some positive changes over the years.

9 years and counting here.
Most everyone thinks I am an asshole too.
Except super responsible people.
They seem to understand where I am all about.
Wal-Martians do not. LOL!

Good job!
