I think it would be awesome if we had a public leader board sobriety counter, it will help us stay disciplined and it’s a fun competition

@Ray_M_C_Laren and @Chance have like 34 and 36 years respectively. Pretty sure that ends it. @SinceIAwoke has what 15 or 16 years? @NealRecoveryCA has 7 I believe. I know there’s other long-termers around here but their names escape me at the present.

I half agree with this. Everyday is a new day to be sober or not…my 500 days don’t make it any easier. But dammit…I just CAN’T go back to day 1 again. 500 days was a lot of work. So, it’s not easier but it sure is motivation.

4 years 1 month 2 days for me. I can’t go back to 1. Worked to hard rebuilding bridges that could go up at the drop of a match. Huge motivation for me anyway. Everyday I’m getting closer to being the best “me” I can be. I’m not there yet but I’m closer than I was yesterday :v::100:

I like to think that I’ll be working on being my best until my death bed…there must always be something I can be better at.

Sobriety isn’t a competition, it’s a personal journey.

So, they’re not rescheduling 2020 convention? I grew up in MI and was going to visit friends and fam.

I think there was talk of pushing it to 2021, but moving something that sized is like turning around the Titanic in a puddle.

Oh, I really like this. Stuff like that’s why they’re the old timers.

I’m competitive, but not with this…just like I never paid attention to how drunk the people around me were when I was drinking. It was never about more beers than the guy across the bar it was about the feeling I was chasing.

I chase a new much better for me feeling in sobriety.
