    MY ONE YEAR MWO ANNIVERSARY

    I've been pondering whether or not to post this, but then thought why not!!!!!!

    Friday 9th November was my one year anniversary with MWO, and because I slipped a little a few weeks ago I felt that I had nothing to celebrate , However I realise now just how far I have come thanks to this place...............

    After years and years of drinking every night and all weekend I can honestly say that I have only drunk alone once this year and managed to stop before getting drunk, I don't count down the hours and minutes to my next drink as soon as I get up every morning which I did for years(some days i'm 'antsy' and if i'm honest I count down till 7pm) but I do wait till 7 and then don't down a whole bottle in 30 mins like I used to ..........

    I managed a few AF stints, never got to 30 days, but I know now should something stop me drinking it wouldn't bother me .........

    I'm now on the board of governors at school, I couldn't do this before although I wanted to because the meetings went on till 9pm, and I couldn't drink.......

    In the last year no one has phoned me up telling me what I did last night, but I've called them several times and loved every minute of it .........

    I no longer NEED to eat out for lunch on saturday just so I could have wine with lunch .................

    I will probably think of loads more later, but I need to blow my own trumpet..... I have achieved a lot for which I am very proud ......

    I am eternally grateful to RJ for this programme, my wonderful friends around the world who without my alcoholism I would never have met .........

    and also to Mr Boop who openly admitted that some days last year he didn't want to come home for fear of what he would find ........... but stuck by me nevertheless ............

    I love you all :h :l :h :thanks:

              BB - that is so great - and great that you did post about it. You do have every right to be very, very proud!

              Go on thinking of the plus points and post them here - we want to read them all...it wont be boasting-bad...it'll be boasting-good and will give loads of people loads of hope and determination I am sure. (Including me!)

              Mr B is one brilliant guy - not agreeing he had to be but he is and I am so glad for you both and Miss B that you are enjoying happy times now.... (job will sort out.)

              BE PROUD BB....WE ARE OF YOU!!!

              Love'n big hug

                As FMS said, don't be timid about shouting out your achievement -for it is a grand achievement and who knows how many people will be inspired!!
                Thanks for being here, Betty Boop!
                :thumbsup

                    BB, you have made so much progress. Yes I agree, sometimes we tend not to look at all the positives, but instead look for the few things that we aren't happy about, or aren't quite as perfect as we want them to be....
                    It sounds like you are comfortable with where you are with alcohol and that is the most important thing. As it says somewhere in the book it becomes like having butter on your bread - not particularily important.
                    You and your family are lovely people. Well done.

                        BBoop! That was the very best post I've read in a long time. You are a lighthouse to us little tossing ships on the sea! I think Mr. Boop and Mr. Jane would have a lot to talk about (US)! Thanks for a great post and BIG congratulations for your "Year of Living (NOT) Dangerously!"

                              Congrats BB!

                              You really have achieved so much. I like your attitude! You should be very proud of the progress you have made in one year. You have inspired a lot of people.
