Related: About this forumJust celebrated my 4th year of sobriety!
On Friday. I really don't keep track of it, but my wife reminded me that it's been four years. It's pretty easy to remember actually: 9/9/18.

As an aside, I had 43 years as of yesterday. I figure if it can work for *me* it can work for anybody. Welcome to the "September Sobriety Society"!

I owe a tip of the hat to SMART recovery. Nice to have a supportive group I can relate to.

Kudos to you and those that love you.
That is a huge milestone!
