    Two years clean and sober. As of right now.. Two years ago, I looked at a full can of beer in disgust.. I turned and begged God for help.. I was desolate, alone, and hopeless. Then, in just keeping my focus on God, and not my circumstances... Two years passed!

    You guys' friendship has also been a huge part of that journey!! You all still love me, even
    Though I talk about God all the time, instead of PJ

    Aw Tree...I certainly don't mind, plus you mix it up pretty well =)

    And really, if faith has helped you to get past and through what you need(ed) to, then so be it.

    Theres no one singular way to get and stay sober.. However it happens is a good thing.

    Hedo, faith is a most necessary component imo. Only question is , faith in what? For me its the power contained in the 12 steps and the higher power I was reintroduced to and later the undescribable power in one person helping another.

    Would it be wrong for me to say "amen to that"? I do agree, mickey - whatever, and whomever, gets you there.

    I just came across this thread...awesome that there is something like this around here that people have another common thing that binds people together besides the music

    my confession...

    I was sober 3.5 years and a little over a year ago "fell off the wagon" with alcohol...man can I tell you when they say "you pick up right where you left off"...so true...no right off the bat but eventually

    keep up the good work people and no matter what the vice, please stay sober!

    EDIT: just realized this hasn't been touched since 2008....hope everyone is well

    You fell off over a year ago. How are you today? I hope you are doing well.
