Congrats on sobriety, my step mom just had a relapse after 9 months but owned up and is starting fresh again. I have witnessed the struggle and respect the effort and determination required to win.

It hasn't been easy, that's for sure. It requires thinking differently when the stuff hits the fan or when you would otherwise drink "just because". It has been rewarding and has taught me a lot.

I'm at the 8 month mark myself, and my biggest fear is relapse. Not that I think that I'll go nuts and hit rock bottom or anything, but truthfully you never know where that next run will lead.

The hardest part for me was admitting that I had a problem beyond my control, definitely a blow to the ego, but life is so much better now that I get to relax be me.

Congrats on the year chip, I'll be right behind you if I don't screw up on vacation in Mexico come July.

Whatever it takes to get and stay sober I say do it.

I have never had a problem but I rarely drink anyway.

It is definitely a humbling thing to admit that we're powerless over X and that our lives had become unmanageable, ie:stepping out of denial.

Keep it up man, you've come this far, you can keep on keepin on. Self sabotage is a very real thing, but the fact that you're able to recognize the potential stumbling stones now should enable you to stay on track.

I find it so moronic how people who were addicts and then quit seek praise for their so called acomplishment!!!! Why not praise all the people who were smart enough to never become an addict in the first place!!!

It's not about praise. I can't speak for Tx Redneck, but I didn't get sober for anybody but me, and part of the process was learning to not give two shits what other people think about it.

A very big part of the process though, was being able to talk openly with others who had been there, which helped me come to terms with it. One of the biggest hurdles ironically, is the very same mentality that you display in this post. I put it out there that I am sober to be an example, and perhaps show somebody who is stumbling that it's okay to reach out for help.

It has nothing whatsoever to do with being "smart," there have been some highly intelligent addicts, famous and otherwise.

But hey, whatever helps you feel better about yourself.

Don't be stupid. Everyone has their vices. What are yours? I know spelling is one of them.

I think I'll have a beer after that.
