The rollercoaster went off the track when I missed my girlfriend's birthday drinking alone in my apartment and called her the next day offering to do anything she wanted for her birthday. When she started to cry and said " it was yesterday, asshole" I knew I was done. But there were a million signs leading up to it. It was no shock.
I didn't go either. I promised myself I would if I drank on my bartending shift 4 days after I quit, but I made it. My whole body was vibrating but I walked home sober.
Dude.
Yes, you did.
And we're all better off for it.
Love the story !! Congrats on 69 months !!
Jimmy! This story is a revelation!! Thank you!
And you rock.
Why’d you finally quit?

Wow. That had to have been painful.
Dude.
I’m always sick and grateful to replay the awful memory of my last hangover.
One more day sober. I’m happy for me, for you… for us. WE stay sober. Thank you. I love you.
4427 days, 446,241,600 heartbeats.
I love you. We continue to make it through. ODAAT
Congratulations.
Keep it up!
Dude.
Thanks. Thanks for the positive reinforcement.
Dude. Congrats on this anniversary and the Weal.
Thanks Jim. Thanks for being part of it.
Really viscerally powerful. It got you inside the character. Dark shit. Glad to know you on the other side 💪
I love to be visceral. Thank you.
Oh boy. I didn't need rehab because I was ready and done with drinking, but I can relate to this.

Jimmy, you make the world a better place.
Thank you. So do you. Your hobby brings immense joy to the world.
What an accomplishment. Congratulations.
Congrats on 69 months, Jimmy (though it’s probably closer to 70 at this point)!
Thanks Justin. It's close. I honestly don't think about it that much anymore. Glad I'm still here though.
