Hi everyone. here I am posting on a thread that has myname in the title after its reached its 4th page. Thats right..putting the "L8" in "Fashionably l8". J/k I'm just finishing up my workweek here. Its really nice to see such a show of support here! AF will take you higher than AL ever could, you just have to give it a chance.

Anyway, I found this board at the beginning of week 2 AF. The first week I started the Kudzu and it killed the physical cravings, and God gave me what it took to do the rest. Of course I was really lucky to stumble on a very special group of people who were pretty much where I was at, and we've been mobbing through this thing ever since. Theres more to this whole thing than just pills and stuff!

Ok, time for bed. Everyone take care!

Thank you everyone and congratulations again, my dear partners in 90-day crime..

90 days.. WOW!

So, for me it has been a very interesting ride, indeed. I decided to quit drinking at the pinnacle of my despair - and I think that sometimes that is exactly it what it takes (however, I don't recommend it, if you can help it). I decided to quit drinking the same time I was ending my marriage, it was the Holidays, my business was at a huge turning point and I was recovering from a injury. You know, because I didn't think quitting dinking was going to be hard enough on me. But, in hindsight, it was the perfect time. Had I continued to drink while all of that was going on I cannot imagine where I would be today. So, deep pain was necassary for me. I am definately a tough sell.

I came to MYO for the first time March 2007, so it took me 9 more months of practice before I got it right. Oh, and I am still JUST figuring it all out.. the training wheels are still on and will stay on for a good long while. I don't care what I look like anymore, the training wheels stay. It is more about being safe than looking good. I did image thing for 25 years and it got me nowhere. So for now, I am safe and I will just ride along with a nice pair of Jimmy Choo's. Yes, I kept the shoes... Letting go of the ego is one thing... shoes, well..

So I HAVE to say thank you again. To all of you, to RJ and to my guardian angels. I have many, I've discovered. I also HAVE to give kudos to me - yes me. That is a tough one for me to say. I think we always thank everyone else, but it was ME that quit. I had to do it, and I did. I am one person that does not give myself credt. I would rather give it to someone else, but this one deserves a big "way to go MM".

How did I do it.. well I think you have all read my story, my posts and through those and the replies to your threads, you have gotten to know me. Probably better than most people ever will. So, I won't bore you with that again.. Maybe it is also that it is becoming faint for me, the whole thing. And I think that is good.

The main ingredient for me was tenacity. I remember looking at myself the morning after the last night I drank, January 5th. I was probably as unhappy as I have ever been in my entire life. I didn't just not like what I saw, I hated what I saw. I was disgusted in myself. I knew deep down inside was this other person screaming to get out. To be at peace. This person had been crying for a very long time. Instead of loving this person, I did everything in my power to quiet her. Luckily for me she was a screamer.. lol!

Anyway, for all of you who think it just can't be done, well it can. I drank my entire life, from the age of 15 years old. This was part of me. AND NOW IT IS NOT. It can be done. You just can never, ever, ever, ever give up.

Namste, my friends.

With all my love,

MM

I am speechless. I have to say - this is huge - a pat on our own backs - a huge YES!! I'll bet most of us here never have even realized that we have spent our lives helping everyone else --- and never have stopped to give ourselves some slack - LET ALONE CREDIT. Like a lightbulb has come on here - wow.

And the screamer inside wanting out - boy can I relate to that one. Thank you for this awesome post and insight. You have grown in ways I can only pray I will MM. So much growth - it gives me such inspiration. You have wings. Fly High.

If your compassion does not include yourself, it is incomplete.
