Hi all - starting this brilliant thread up for all you who will be awakening before too long. It is 6.05pm Sunday here, so I am grateful for another day won.

Day two at my new job and it is going well. I posted on another thread earlier (when I got home) how there were a lot of 'happy couples' in the caff today, and I felt quite down for a bit, missing my Vea, and a bit boringly self-pitiful. I recieved an AWESOME and encouraging PM from one of our lot, and the gratitude and lightness I felt upon reading it was huge! This site and all of you are so very helpful. I may not have drunk over it (today) but I could well have let the boring comfort of misery envelop me...It has left!! I am back to my usual cheery self, thinking positive, knowing I am off for another visit next Sunday (Only 7 more sleeps) LOL...Also on the positive side - the wonderful, loving letters I receive from Vea daily are something I hold on to (could be GREAT ammo for future reference LOL).

Anyway - welcome to Sunday the 7th December, soldiers! Look forward to catching you all at some stage before I pass out from exhaustion later!

I cannot say that I work crazy hours, but I am awake searching this sight for support and encouragement. I have fallen off the beaten path and am struggling to get back on an AF road. Sometimes is so hard to know where to jump in. I guess this is where I will start (again). I am thankful to be going to bed knowing no hangover for me tomorrow. It was a nice night. I hope I find the strength to continue.. I am glad to back on MWO. Thanks for the thread...

Thanks Sea. I think he is OK. So hard when our babies are sick. I am going to bed as well -- way too late. Nighters!

Hi CS, Spirit, Sea, and Panadol!! Great to be here -


Spirit, the struggle IS worth it, and once the decision to get back on the path is made, well it's often a calming result that follows. I used to say to myself a lot: 'will I (drink/use) - won't I ', today - and Just For Today, I choose not to drink and drug. My life has become a peaceful sort of exciting - if that makes any sense. It is SOOOO very worth it to be free of active addiction today.

CS, there is nothing much more disabling than a sick young one/AND lack of sleep - peace to you...

Sea - always awesome to see your atavar and therefore know you are about!!

Yay for recovery. I have just got home from an AA meeting (there's nothing like a LIVE show!!) The topic was Acceptance - I remember being court directed (drink-driving) in 1997 to my first rehab, and the RELIEF I found there upon finding out that I was an alcoholic, and not some crazy, demented evil loony! Up until then, I thought an alcoholic was a park-benching no-hoper, and therefore "not moi, by God!" Have since had much education about this cunning, baffling powerful disease, and am not struggling nearly so much with the stigma any more.

Morning all, Great to see so many feeling positive. I've had a mare of a morning and it's only 8am! I can't get to work as i can't get the car out of the street due to ice. Everything is white and it's freezing. Just phoned my boss to let him know i will be late and he was cool with it. He said to turn up whenever. Got such a busy day today and really needed to be in early but there isn't anything i can do about it, so might as well have another coffee! Yay, more coffee!!

Kapo .... You are such a positive person and a real inspiration to many. So glad your enjoying your new job.

Morning to everyone else xx
