When I joined the MWO forums I have to confess I was not one who was following the MWO 'program'; although, I incorporate a lot of the same methods in my own program (and the same could be said of AA and the 12 step recovery program). I found MWO through a link a member posted on a forum affectionately known as Molly's or officially....The Unofficial AA UK Recovery forum of which I am still a member. I still post there occasionally and on another forum known as the Rock which is more orientated around people who are not AA and have their own chosen methods of recovery. I use the term 'recovery' loosely as it is my own personal belief that we can actually RECOVER from our drinking and move forward without always being under the (AA) illusion that we are ALWAYS in recovery. Anyway what I did find when I came here was a totally diverse and multi-cultured group of 'drinkers' from all kinds of backgrounds and some like myself had their own methods of doing things. I warmed to the people on here instantly and found myself right at home and thrived on the fact that this forum was so 'worldwide'. I've always considered myself to be somebody who embraces other peoples ideas, or at least respects them. For example, I do not believe in organised religion; my reasons, my ideologies and something I don't force on others. Yet i have the utmost respect for those who do have faith and share that here with others (Southernbelle being the member I am relating to in this example). I, at least, consider myself to have good Christian values in my upbringing anyway!!!!. The point I am trying to make with this is that YES there some days I feel down and blue and yet I can come on here and find a post that simply inspires me in some way and makes me feel happy and maybe restores a liitle faith in myself. There are days when I do feel totally inspired and wish to share my experiences with others and just maybe I might 'touch' someone else. Then there are days when I just feel plain goofy and having a good laugh with my mates on here keeps my spirits lifted. There are many reasons why I choose to log on and come here but the main reason is that I can truly be myself here without fear of judgment by others.
My utmost respect and love to you all
