That is awesome, congrats

RESPECT FOR YOU !

I probably drink too much.
Funny that this thread caught my eye !
I drank only this tuesday so far and not much...
I just want to drink when IT'S TIME TO DRINK not on a daily basis even if it's only 2 or 3 beers (or glasses of wine)

You know what's sad ? That you had to stop everything ! But i guess, it takes what it takes !

BRAVO ! FUCKING PROUD OF YOU and i don't even know ya

Cheers ! (lol)

1/1/97 myself :)

congrats Chad..onward and upward my friend

Congrats to you. Me I'm ~4 days sober and will only be for a day more I'd guess :)

It is quite an achievement. Congrats

Yes, very impressive. It takes a strong will to conquer that.

My Dad died at the age of 58; I was 15 years old at the time- cirrhosis of the liver due to acute alcoholism. He drank as you described drinking for most of his life. I don't have very many memories of him in which he didn't have a beer in his hand. The last time I saw him, his skin was totally jaundiced and his eyes were bloodshot, he couldn't keep food down and his thinking wasn't very clear... he still had that beer in his hand. For those that have it, it's a terrible disease... and it hurts almost everyone surrounding you as well.

Good job and I hope you conquer 9 more years!

Congrats on your achievement. I am about to hit 1,000 days myself. Feels great. :)

congrats on sobriety

Congrats. I have 7 and a half years myself.

Congrats!!! I have a lot of respect for what you have managed to do.

*hugs and kisses*

bravo to you...

this thread reminds me a film Leaving Las Vegas

Congrats Chad

Not to rain on the parade here but I just want to ask...you were prosecuting DUI's loaded up on booze yourself?

when you saw some of them going to jail, did it bother you? After u got out of rehab, did you get back to business of putting the "Bad guys" behind bars?

Whats harder to give up once addicted, alcohol or cigs?

congrats. have 18 years myself.... well worth it. keep on keepin and enjoy. -bmb

congrats to your anniversary, my friend. i am happy to know you like you are now :)

Great story! Congrats! 11-24-88 myself... just turned 19 years.

Give me your ICQ or e-mail - the number of sober people in porn is very, very, very limited. I only know of a select handfull.

Toodles!!!

I was a total hypocrite, yes. I was prosecuting people for doing exactly what I was doing. Until it caught up with me!

I resigned and ran for re-election. The people of Worth County had a lot of faith in me and they voted me back in -- 70% of the popular vote and I won every precinct. I had a few months sober when my resignation and the special election took effect,which helped a lot. This was a small county so everybody knew how fucked up I had been, but they also knew how hard I was working to stay sober and they gave me another chance.

I spent 7 days in jail, paid a $1500 fine, 2 years probation and license revoked for a full year with NO work permit. I can honestly say I never drove during that year.

I think being prosecutED made me a better prosecutOR. I treated everybody fairly and any of that bullshit whining "I can't go to jail!!" made me respond "I went to jail and you can too. Quit whining, suck it up and be a man."

There are a LOT more of us than anyone of us realizes. I know of quite a few Friends of Bill in the industry, and this thread has quite a few Friends, plus several long terms friends that I was unaware of.
