I think the exercise will really help KP. I know that as soon as I get out with the dogs my head clears immediately. That is only walking twice a day. but it really makes a difference.
Also AA will give you that added support.
Those are good moves i think!

Hi again all

Don't think Cy can join in unfortunately- the mini marathon is for the girls.


AA might help Cy- I would def have tried it if there was one in my area- no harm in trying is there?


I am actually planning on winning the damn thing- Starts is gonna be my trainer for the first few months, then I might have to get a local one.

Sure, Starting. I was in pretty tight with AA, did the 90 meetings in 90 days, and a meeting nearly every day after that. But I realized I disagreed with some of the core beliefs in AA (powerlessness, turning over one's will, the stuff about "defects of character") and it got where hearing about stuff I disagreed with, over and over, was really bugging me. I got into some really distorted thinking... I decided that I had become, in a way, a prisoner of AA, and that was as bad as being a prisoner of alcohol. So I quit going to meetings... and decided I could probably drink again. VERY BAD IDEA.

My drinking went back to previous high levels pretty quickly... I quit (on my own) a few times again, before finding MWO, for up to a year once, and a couple of times for a few months, but always back again. Those other times, since it was on my own, I had no support and no real accountability. Just sort of hoping I would "stay quit," but never making it.

When my mother moved nearby, 6 years ago, it really got bad. Lots of despair. I quit for a year again... then started again, and it just kept getting worse... This last time I realized I needed more than just doing it "on my own." I was looking for an AA group to go to when I found MWO online. So far, this has given me the support I needed.

SO: I am ALWAYS on the high alert, watching out for distorted thinking!!

I feel as though im running out of options, and wish i could give up like i did before(for over 4 years), but i dont seem to have the will power that i did...

GREAT! GREAT! GREAT! All of those are FANTASTIC things to do!

Can you tell I am highly supportive of your plans???

Thanks WIP. It is amazing how circumstance like family can send us over the edge isnt it?
I have never tried any support before. Therefore I assume thats why I have never been successful before. I always thought I could do everything on my own.
Yep, those damn brain farts keep on farting dont they!
