1 YEAR
http://fubar.com/1-year/b259525-1022349

Well, as of today (May 14,2009), I've been sober 1 year. I got away from the dope 4 1/2 years ago (November 14,2004) but alcohol still had a grip on me. For a short time after I quit drinking, I had myself believing that I had 2 sober dates...1 for drugs and the other for booze. I learned that to be clean and sober you had to give up both and there is only one date for that. But I'm still very proud of both accomplishments individually. However, I realize that I've only been "Clean and Sober" for one year. But I'm happy with that. May 14 will be a special and life changing day forever etched into my life and I hope and pray there will be many more years to come. I hope that I die at a very ripe old age and I'm confident that whenever that may be, I'll be sober when it happens. I want to thank all the people that helped and supported me along the way individually but there are just too many to list so I say this to them now "THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT. I COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT YOU" Although only a few of them will see this, I wanted the Fubar Universe to know that you were all a help as well. Thank You all.
