I passed fourteen years of sobriety last month without a single person commenting on the milestone. These days- nobody expects me to drink, nobody worries if I’ll make it home, they depend on me. Everyone forgot I was an alcoholic… and it made me very happy.
Last weekend however, it turned out some people did remember.
I was presented the card below at the recovery meeting I started over two years ago at the methadone clinic. On the inside of the card they mentioned something even more important to my recovery than length of sobriety, they thanked me for all the meetings… and it made me very happy.

You go, Discovering Alcoholic!
Congratulations
that fourteen years have gone by and you still do what you do. Congratulations on your sobriety and thanks for the people like you from the people like me who count their sobriety in days or months (5, today).
Thank you all!
DA,
As someone in the midst if 90/90, I love having your blog to visit anytime I feel like reading some thoughtful words on recovery. Keep on keepin' on, dude! Congrats on the 14 years!
Way to go on fourteen! I am grateful to you for the effort you put in to this website. I appreciate the intellegence you bring to the recovery discussion. I am a regular attendee at AA meetings where I enjoy various people from vastly different social and economic backgrounds and "bottoms". I have just about fifteen months sobriety after a painful two year relapse. Thank you again for your honsesty.
Lori
