Growing up as a kid I always read the Guinesses Book of World Records.
I couldn't wait for each year's new edition to come out. We still have the books around the house for the kids!-) To this day I watch Simply Amazing to watch records be smashed.
I still have a vivid picture of Shridhar Chillal's super long nails in my head. I remember looking at my Dad who is just over 5'2" and wondering what he would look like next to Robert Pershing, who was almost 9 feet tall.
I spent the whole summer once trying to break the record for most jumps on a pogo stick.
On my 87th day of Sobriety I wanted to share something spectacular with you all.

My wife and I were talking about the Steemit Beard Competition and the historical significance of it being the first beard competition conducted on the Blockchain. Then it hit me, we may have actually made history.
What's cool about this is that every Steemian who participated may have inadvertently made history also.

Is it possible history was made TWICE by being the first person to use the blockchain to achieve sobriety and by starting the first ever Steemit Beard Competition?
I've told followers of this blog for the longest time I don't know if I could have achieved sobriety without Steemit. It's a known quantity I failed twice in the beginning of my postings, but I'm almost three months into my sobriety without using AA, no medicines, no books.

Here's the Bounty
My last drink was on Easter of 2017, the day of the Steemit Beard Competition. That makes April 17th, 2017 my first official day of sobriety. If anyone can find a documented Beard Competition on Steemit before Easter or someone on Steemit who documented using Steemit to achieve and maintain sobriety using this platform before the 17th, I will reward them with 20 SBD.
I look forward to finding an answer to both of these questions once and for all. If you would, please let me know in the replies if you looked and could not find anything.
Oh yeah and don't forget the next Steemit Beard Competition starts on Easter 2018!

If you enjoyed this post, please upvote, resteem and FOLLOW if you desire! I mostly story post about my sobriety, family, effects of war, and the crazier parts of my life. However, if it interests me I may just Steem about it! Steem on Steemians!
Great stuff brother! Sadly, I can't grow a beard worth a crap, so I can't enter. lol
Thanks, @jdawg! I just put up my beard training regimen for the #steemitcampfire.
You should enter in a crappy beard anyways lol.
It's ok that you can't grow a good beard, you can always vote in it.
