When I got sober, that was 1990.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I have been sober for the longest time. Oh, it's over a decade now. No joke.
Between '89 and '93 I was a wild child, a real nutter.
I'll be sober ten years and married nine soon.
The first year I was sober was probably the worst year of my life. My immune system was screwed. I completely isolated myself. I was weak all the time. I didn't know who I was.
I got sober because I was worried I was going to die next year.
I went into rehab December 14th, 1996, and got out eight months later? Then I went into a sober living place where I stayed for three months. I've been clean for a good year and a half.
For some reason, 1968 is a touchstone year for me. I think it was the first year I felt fully conscious.
I was a child of the '80s.
I got sober for good on December 7, 2008.
In 1969, I gave up women and alcohol - it was the worst 20 minutes of my life.
