Biggest Achievement (non cycling)

[The Jogger]

Today I have come to a milestone I am twenty five years sober today. My life has changed immeasurably and the fact I'm still breathing is a bonus.

What's your biggest achievement to date?

Congrats!
Having just finished A-Levels, I would imagine they are probably my biggest achievement... for the time being at least.

That's fantastic @The Jogger! I think my biggest achievement is being married for 31 years, but I wonder if that's more down to my husband than me, as he is an astoundingly reasonable man.

Bringing 3 great boys up, who are now 40, 36 and 25 and staying married to a great person for the last 40+ years. Everything else pales into insignificance.

My biggest achievement thus far is the square route of feck all.

I've known people with alcohol addiction so I know how tough is to kick the habit. 25 years is quite an achievement I'd say.

I think I have a few achievements that I'm very proud of but I think the one that tops the rest is staying married (35 years) and providing a "stable" home to bring up a family. Considering that we were only 19 when we got married. My wife stood by me through university and later on when I worked away from home for years and coming home only at weekends if I was lucky. We put our 3 kids through university and they never gave us a big problem. We have friends whose kids got into trouble with the police, drugs, etc at a very early age. So yes, that has to be my biggest achievement to date.

I saved a guy's life once after he'd fallen through a window and severed an artery in his arm. He stood up with blood spurting 6-8 feet and no-one else did anything so I applied direct pressure over the wound (pre AIDS so you can tell how long ago) with a thumb. The only time I've had to use my (work funded) first aid knowledge.

I haven't really made much of my life so far but I suppose that I am pretty happy with a lot of the forum rides that I have organised over the years.

PS Oh, non-cycling! Er, I'll have to think hard to come up with something ...

Top work Mr Jogger. Were I wearing a hat I would doff it in respect.

I was going to offer a toast, but thought better of it!

I am 25 *months* off alcohol. I stopped when I got ill, and it would be a bit daft for me to slip back into the habit now.

Perhaps not my greatest achievement but something I am very proud of is the fact that I gave up smoking in june 2012 after 44 years of the dreaded weed.

After a long think the only thing worth mentioning is that I've lived for nearly 62 years and 11 months

Nowt, I am a world class slacker/procrastinator.

You've missed a maths joke here: it should be the square route of negative feck all: then it would be imaginary.

(biggest achievement might have been getting a place in a mathematics olympiad when I was 16. Sad )
