    I signed in just to say congrats to you

    Seriously, I know how bad this can turn out since my dad is an alcoholic. Props to you for making the right choice and seeing what is really important in your life. Something like this can really tear a family apart.

    Good for you, dude. Good for you.

    I'm just now seeing this, however, congratulations man. My mom is going on her 8th year now so I know what you're doing is possible. Just stay strong and keep what you have to lose in mind.

    I'm late to the thread.. but I said it when you stopped, and I'll say it again.. Congratulations! I think you've made it through the worst part, the first year. As you come into situations in the future where you may be tempted, just look back over how hard the last year has been and also reflect on what you've got to lose. I hope it will be motivation to keep the bottle down.
