Wowsers! At what month, year did you realize that alcohol wasn’t on your mind all time?
You have what I want so I think I will keep going! You give me hope that long term recovery is possible!

About 3 months things clicked.
One year sealed the deal. I knew that I could get thru holidays and daily life by then.

An AA bday is in recognition of your first sober day. Members of Alcoholics Anonymous, celebrate this milestone at a meeting and receive a special chip with a roman numeral of the year. Mine…XXVI.
Bellybutton bd is the day you were born and not acknowledged at AA mtg.

Amazing amazing work
I don’t have two birthdays. I have the one where I was reborn into this life.
It’s my belly button birthday on Tuesday. I have absolutely no intention of celebrating it

I just dont see the 3rd Sept as my birthday anymore. That was the day a selfish, nasty, egotistical, angry, resentful and bitter person was born. Somebody who not only put himself before everything, but neglected all and everything around him.
Now the 5th July. Now you’re talking baby. Stick a candle on that cake, roll out the jelly and ice cream and put the banners up. Is fucking party time.

Depends which way you look at it pal. Personally I don’t believe I did give up. I asked God to help me whilst going through the most horrendous withdrawals you could imagine and he allowed me one more day to get my arse to AA. I woke up that morning knowing what I was, what the solution was, and where I could find it.
I liked the Oasis bit though

What is this you speak of? I think pothead Derek probably tried this before, likely to utter failure.
