25 May 1886, Chicago (IL) Daily Tribune, pg. 4:

"At the punch bowl's brink,

Let the thirsty think,

What they say in Japan:

First the man takes a drink,

Then the drink takes a drink,

Then the drink takes the man."

87 days sober today... god damn does this speak volumes.

E: these replies are amazing and inspiring! I love you all! For those thinking about quitting, the folks over in r/stopdrinking are a godsend! Never would have made it without them.
