Hi wanttostop7,

One of the things I did when I was trying to stop drinking was to take a large sheet of paper, I then drew a line down the middle of the page.. In the left hand column I wrote a heading, REASONS TO DRINK.. In the right hand column I wrote another heading REASONS TO STOP DRINKING..

I was able to fill the right hand column without any problems, as to the left hand one, thats still empty.. I stopped drinking eleven months ago..

clear eyes, better looking skin, saving $1,200.00 per month not spent on wine, no longer worry about what the hell I'm doing to my liver and pancreas, no longer drinking late into the night after my wife has gone to bed, no more feeling like a loser because I can't stop drinking and a happy proud feeling that I did stop with the help of MWO.

Everything you mentioned in your post wannastop, is how I feel & lost a lot of weight that I didn't even notice I was carrying around! I have lost.............. a total of 24lbs!!! YEP! I didn't even realize that I was 'fluffy' back in the day, but really notice it now - and so does everyone else. (the only downside to losing my weight was losing my boobs LOL!)

Skin is clear, eyes are clear & wide open, WAY more energy, hair stopped falling out and looks healthier and shinier; the list goes on and on.

There is nothing other than good when you stop drinking. I am at 95-98ish % of nearing 8 months AF now! Not to mention the savings in money!

Thanks Gabby. 8 months not consecutively, unfortunately. But nonetheless, I am pretty proud considering how far I have come from. My total drinks are 11 in this time. As opposed to 11 a night LOL!

It's nice waking up in the morning knowing what you did the night before instead of hearing it from other people!
I could just feel my heart beating faster and faster when people would tell me stories of some of the crazy things I would be doing when I was out with them and I couldn't remember. I guess that's why they call it liquid encouragement. I never want to go back to those days again. Never!!

The greatest positive of being AF for me is realizing that I now have the freedom to strive to be all I can be.

I don`t think it`s easy, as I`m just beginning to understand that there`s a whole lot more than the cravings to overcome, so am prepared for becoming truly well to take quite some time, then it`s..............

LOOK OUT WORLD.......HERE I COME!!!
