Pursuing permanent abstinence as a goal is a huge step. Even though I haven't had a drink since October, I still haven't jumped that hurdle. I find I can mostly commit to a week in advance, but sometimes just a day ahead...and occasionally only an hour. I've made it farther AF than I ever expected, as my initial goal was to be a moderate drinker. Thanks to learning on MWO, the courageous stories of people like you, and the support I've found here I've been able to re-evaluate my past alcohol use and have found being AF liberating in so many unanticipated ways. Congratulations on your progress and may we continue on a path to remove the destruction of alcohol from our lives.
Kind regards,
Lodes
Peace & Best Wishes for you in your goals this week/day/hour. Interestingly enough, I am staying home Friday night I will be ready to collapse by then and Sat. night going to a dinner party where the Chef (my friend won this dinner at a Silent Auction and invited us) is in recovery! Universe sending a message? Me thinks so.
