Cornholio 0 #51 August 22, 2007 You're just upset that he's got more time than you Quote If jaye wants to say she's clean be it TRUELY or other wise, who's business is it to contradict that. NO ONEs. Well, she did ask for opinions in her post, didn't she? Get out of the kitchen if you can't stand the heat. Butthead: Whoa! Burritos for breakfast! Beavis: Yeah! Yeah!

Tink1717 2 #52 August 22, 2007 It matters A LOT how long someone has been clean and sober. IF you are clean and sober you should know this. And, just for your information, I try not to sit anywhere near smokers. And, just for the record, I AM NOT contradicting whether she is clean or not. Only she, or someone with a lab test, can make that call.Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway... It really pisses him off. -The World Famous Tink.

Cornholio 0 #54 August 22, 2007 eh 1 minute or 21 years....same thing. We're all one second away from taking something. Sure, a night out with the CnS sober gang as the local pub sounds like it would be a real riot. I get a kick out of watching drunk people nowadays. Makes me really really grateful. Butthead: Whoa!

HeatherB 0 #55 August 23, 2007 I'm a vegetarian... But I eat fish. And well, yeah, sometimes chicken too. But, but, think of the animals!! (j/k) I don't care if someone calls themselves vegetarian, sober, or straight edge etc. (is that still around??) It's only annoying when people try to shove their holier-than-thou views and labels into someone else's face and it turns out the shover is a hypocrite. This wasn't directed at Jaye. She seems like a very truthful and tolerant person. I'm just ranting. I've always thought "clean" meant free of drugs and "sober" meant free of booze. I think that's right, but could be wrong.

Squeak 17 #56 August 23, 2007 Quote I've always thought "clean" meant free of drugs and "sober" meant free of booze. I think that's right, but could be wrong. That's also my take on it. In NA meetins (here in OZ) you identify as CLEAN Just for today. in AA meetings here in OZ you ID as SOBER Just for today.You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS!

That's the way it is here in Norcal too. It varies from place to place I am sure. Norcal has it's share of NA Nazis that will enforce it upon you at meeting level if you identify otherwise or say sober too many times. Butthead: Whoa! Burritos for breakfast! Beavis: Yeah! Yeah!

ACMESkydiver 0 #59 August 23, 2007 Quote Yup, it matters. Matters to me. 14 yrs myself Aug 15. Congrats on that...and tbrown, and everyone else that's mentioned their own victory in this thread. I'm proud of all y'all. Quote "Does it make your life unmanageable and do you become powerless over your addiction?" That's the best definition I think I've heard to describe an addiction... That's why I feel that 15 yrs drug-free is a victory, as it controlled me...having drinks with friends once or twice per month doesn't control my life in the slightest. I never crave the stuff; I enjoy it about as much and as frequently as I have a soda pop of any sort...~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action.
