Greetings everyone! I just wanted to tell you about the wonderful evening I had last night....
I was out with some friends & was introduced to a couple of new people.... both of them had over 10 years of sobriety!!!
It was the most enjoyable evening...we talked for hours about how our recoveries have enriched our lives beyond our wildest dreams.... I am in such awe of their accomplishments... they inspired me to new heights!!!

Thank you so much for posting this! I never thought I would make it this far, and I must admit, there are some days that I still struggle.... but, when I read stories like yours, it makes me realize that there are still so many rewards for me to yet experience..... thank you for making my day!

Wow! How great it must feel to be AF for so many months! Last week I just felt it in my heart that I couldn't go on drinking like I have been... it's gotten to the point where I can see it's ruining everything that is good in my life. It's been a tough week, especially the weekend...but I did it! Tomorrow begins week 2...I feel so good about this, I keep telling myself that if I can do 1 week...I can do two! Wish me luck guys!

I can only imagine what it must feel like to be quit for a week.... you sound so positive about about quitting.... I want to feel like that too. I drank my last drink yesterday.... I feel scared, but I feel empowered too.... does that make any sense??? I can't wait to reach my one week of sobriety.... I've never made it that long before. I would be honored if you could be here that day.... not only will it be a day to celebrate 1 week of sobriety for me, but it will be a day to celebrate you...you're the one that inspired me to do this. Thank you!

This is my first post.... I've been reading for several weeks all of the members stories, but I've never had the nerve to post.
There was something about your story that resonated my own... I read it over & over.... tears rolling down my face....I've been crying for the past 2 hours, it feels good to cry...I haven't allowed myself to do that in years. What you said is so true, I never thought of it that way, maybe looking at it from that perspective is what I need to do.
BTW, just over an hour ago, I poured the last of my wine down the drain....I really don't know if I can do this, but I'm going to give it a try....
you are my hero.
Taking another sip, the reader leans back in their chair, mulling over what they just read. Setting the drink down, they lean forward... and bookmark the page.
