Sometimes you just have to change tactics of you slip. I never made it much past a year sober when I stayed in meetings and kept a birthday. I just know somewhere around this time of year is when I had my last drink. This makes 7 years sober, 10 years ago i was camping in the woods close to my job and did that for over 2 years before i made the change. Never give up. Best of luck to you all.

I agree. Sometimes keeping track of the date and if you slip and lose that date it can do more damage than anything!
We’re you sober those two years in the woods?
What made you decide to change?
I too had to change my entire personality this time around. I had to look at my flaws. Really examine my life honestly. I wasn’t this stand up honest guy that I believed I was. My resentments had fear, and high expectations of how others should act. Today, I’m at peace within me and zero expectations on how others should be or how my life should be. I’m just here living in the moment. Enjoying this moment right here. Being fully engaged with what I do is the only way I want to live the rest of my life. Stay humble my life. Keep your head up. If we fail try again. Growth comes from failure. I failed my marriage. I know what I did wrong. So I can grow from here.
