I think Al does that to you Jan - it's all you really care about. I am finally getting my face back to the way it should look for my age, well if I cut out the ciggies too.

oooh shit girl... that is just wot I feel...
have got interest in how I look, got my magic creme that I have used since I was 18.. beautician told me you shouldn't wait untill you are older to fix it, you must start now..
I have bought this creme for 32 years.. and I notice when I don't have it..
had wolf whistles today when I was with Ollie and men saying "hey guapa" means .hey pretty..
felt so good

not like a while ago.. puffy eyes, bloated, shit hair.. no interest to look good..
just clean enough to get out the house to buy booze....
shit wasn't it pathetic..?

well this is my number 1,000 so gonna make it with one saying something that has been in my crazy head..
a metaphor.. I suppose..
for all the years I have been drinking I have never known the feeling to not be drinking..
so I could never understand what the difference was..!
ONCE you have experienced the difference of the first few days truly AF ..it is like being reborn clean and fresh, so new.
it is such a black and white difference
yes the withdrawals are shit but once past that stage..
sober is such a different world..
it is not a boring world, it is not a goody, goody world..
it is our world which we finally have control of and have pleasure from..
it is our life and I WANNA LIVE IT..

the "normal" people have never experienced the difference..we have...:h:h
