    Feel Alive

    Hi everybody,

    Ive been reading the posts all week and following how you are all doing!!!!!

    Does anyone try and put faces to the names I do......and dont worry they are all very nice faces.......

    I would just like to tell you my progress so far......Im 28days AF.......and feel like myself again......Im generally happy for no reason in particular.....just happy to feel sober.....im more confident......I am single.....and when I usually went to bed after stopping drinking....I would feel scared and afraid......and listen for every sound in the house.....Now i go to bed I just flop relax and within seconds im in dreamland.........Also my communication with others is good......where as before I would hide away and not want to be bothered......now im a shoulder to cry on.......I like that being there for others.....Im alot more active and also watch what I eat.....My house is organised and clean.......my bills are paid......im not saying things are perfect because they are not.....its just I can see a big difference to when i drink and dont......and I like not drinking the buzz i get from not drinking is far greater than the one i get from drinking......this time I feel stronger...because a few days ago I was walking along the river to collect my son from school...and their is this very nice old fella that always rides his bike along the river with his dogs and his radio.....( he doesnt know im a problem drinker ).......he is well known to the community he always has his glass of cider on his bike and his bottles in his compartments.......( he obviously stops to drink his cider hehe)......anyway he offered me a drink and I said no thankyou not a good smell for the school hehe.....this old fella looks very well off he never looks drunk and he has many many friends. What im trying to say is I was offered alcohol and I said no thankyou there was no seed planted in my head after where as usually there would have been......I dont take no meds or supps.....its just the thought of not being in control that keeps me going........and coming on here reading and reading and reading thankyou all so much for being here!!!!!!

    Luv Keepon:h

              Keepon...Keep going! Today is day 11 for me. I also feel much better. I'm also happy for no apparent reason. Then again, I have been waking up with no feelings of guilt, remorse, headache, etc... I too have been watching my diet, think more clearly and am getting active again. I even look better. My husband stated I look more vibrant and can see a positive change in me. I have resolved myself to the fact that I'm an alcoholic, that it is a disease, and I have to treat it as such. I have been coming to MWO on a daily basis, have been going to AA meetings, have come cleand with my therapist, my husband and my dad. Also, I have been taking Campral consistently. It makes me a little drowsy, but I'm pushing myself through the lethargy and am keeping myself going... I intend on sticking with the Campral for 3 months or longer to make sure I'm squelching alcohol cravings. For now I don't have any. Last night while in AA, one of the women who has been AF for 5 stated that drinking for her "got old and that it is no longer fun". I can relate. It only gets me in trouble. I feel a big burden has been lifted off of my shoulders. Keep going.... You are making terrific progress. Just keep saying, "no".

                        Keepon, that is fantastic. I am pretty envious right now.

                        Reenie I am also so very proud of you- keep it going, I'm gonna pick an AF day with hubby but we aren't quite there yet. I know, I know, I need to just do it already.
