    Just wanna say...

    ...it's Sunday morning here & I feel great! I'm not grumpy with my kids, I don't feel sick, I won't eat crap food all day, the day won't be wasted & I won't be wishing it was over so I can feel better tomorrow.
    I couldn't have done it without you guys...everyone who knows me & those I haven't met properly yet, THANKYOU. I'm lurking a lot of the time so I've probably read your posts, and they've all helped immensely *getting teary*
    I love those shots in House & Garden magazine of the Mummy & Daddy & kids in a beautiful, crisp bed on a Sunday morning...all smiling & the sun shining through the window - that was never a reality for me until now. I was more bedragled/dehydrated than beautiful!!!
    I always wanted to be one of those people who could have a nice dinner & a couple of glasses of wine on a Sat night, watch a movie & go to bed...well now I'm finally becoming what I always wanted to be

    The things that have helped so far (just at the beginning of my journey really) are the supplements - I take them religiously, the CDs - I listen religiously, this site - I;m here religiously, I eat well & exercise 3-4 times a weeks (37yrs old & 2 kids later & in better shape than when I was 27 that's for sure!:H)and the final thing is that I WANT IT.

    Anyway, I feel great love & respect for all of you just for being here - thanks again.
    Sorry for the long post & it's all about me...I know I've only just started and there'll be tuff times to come but I'm gettin' there.

        *getting teary again* thanks guys, I'm a bit shy with posting but thanks for the encouragement.

            Hey, sometimes when I think of how I was and how I am now, I get overcome with gratitude too. Its a good thing to be emotional about it. Dont forget we have numbed for a long long time.
            Like Oney says, find a way of remembering how good this is in case times get hard.
            Oh yeah, no need to be shy with us either :-)

              Angel, well done!! I'm feeling similarly at the other end of the island (despite the wind!)

              hope we will meet up some time this year for a threesome with BH!

                    I'm glad Croft - it hasn't been all a box of fluffies and I still have crap days but they're getting fewer & fewer.

                      Angel Cakes - I'm so happy for you! You are the age that really is the sterotypical "Best years of your life" and now you will be able to look back and remember good times and not a bunch of regets caused by alcohol. I wish I could go back and re-live some of that time in my life when my kids were little. Fortunately, I didn't go overboard with the wine until they were grown...so I have some really great memories of back then. I';n trying to straighten up now so I'll not have embarrasing memories of when my grandchildren are little!

                      also

                      One2Many - Thank you so much for changing your avitar! I've really enjoyed reading your posts in the short time that I have been hanging around on this site. But that butt.... Lets just say it didn't match your good personality!! :thanks:

                        Angelcakes,
                        I am 37 two kids too....sure is nice waking up and happy to see their faces instead of running for the bathroom or wishing for death I am so sick. I can very much relate to your post. Sober life is much more enjoyable...that is for sure.
