    Finally found it.

    Found my very own way out all of 14 mnths. ago, thanks to MWO and its members.

    It has taken all of these past 14 mnths., but now I`ve finally found my way forward. This is a traumatic, yet hugely exciting time in my life.......am in for a rough couple of months with all that`s going on, but sometimes we have to suffer a little to appreciate just how sweet life can be. This is the turning point in my life.......I`ve been forced to face reality and now I have found the guts to embrace that reality.......hard as the next couple of months are bound to be........this time and circumstance shall be the making of me.

    Admittedly, I`ve felt as though I`ve been teetering on the edge of a nervous breakdown these past few weeks........was intent on finding the easy way forward, only.........sometimes there is no easy way. Am now able to embrace the magnitude of effort that has to be invested in a way forward.

    I have faith in myself now. Life has dealt me many blows........ALL as a direct result of my own bad choices. I alone am to blame for my own mess, and I alone now take back control and ackowledge that I can fix this mess and never again make bad choices.

    I am a strong woman and my life is about to change forever. I always felt rather disappointed in becoming sober.........I was JUST sober........in itself, sobriety doesn`t make for happiness.

    This is my "letting go". I am moving forward towards my happiness now........the kind of complete happiness that we all have to find for ourselves.

    My rock-bottom has only just surfaced, all of 14 mnths. into sobriety. I am a strong and capable woman. I have every faith in myself that the only way is up for me now. Am forward bound.

    Good for you Star! My mantra is "whatever it takes," and it sounds as if that's where you are right now, too. "Letting go," and acceptance of what cannot be changed, are definitely the doorways to a new life.

    best wishes,

          Star,

          Yes. You are an incredibly strong woman. You can do what you must do. No matter what that is.

          We love you. You must know and accept that, too. We are here for you on the support plane.

          However, you are there in reality and must do what you must do.

          You can do it. You will do it. You will prevail.

          Love,

                Star, I am happy to see you have found a sense of peace with yourself. That is something that seems to have been alluding you of late. You ARE strong as you've said and you WILL get through the difficult times as you know. I am glad to see their is some light at the end of your tunnel.

                        Star, when I first Joined MYO 23 days ago, I met you and Chief in the chat room. You both are my inspiration, you told me to stop looking back and look forward- when I was feeling my lowest- ----- well 23 days later I am still AF - and I want to thank you. If I met you in person I would wrap my arms around you with a big hug! You are a person of strength and determination!

                          Chief is correct -- Star is indeed a strong, wonderful woman. Star may not recall, but she and I started on our AF journey at the same time. She has now been AF for 14 wonderful months. As for me, I'm still struggling and would be happy for a week. But I'll not give up as I know this is the right thing to do. For all the MWO'ers starting out, and those still struggling -- Star and Chief have shown us it can be done, so let us never give up.

                              Star, I love the strength and hope in your post. It is something that anyone who is still struggling can use to see that there is hope no matter what point they are at in their life.
