Pat on back day
I've got 60 days and really pleased, just plodding on to 90.........it does get easier and my life is better already. Still difficult sometimes but definitely worth it. Also managed to get to the root of my issues and why I struggle with certain things. I was quite sad about this but also relieved as I can now explain a lot of "'why's".

WELL DONE UKB!
Getting to the root of one's issues can sometimes be crippling and sends us back to the bottle, Fair play for dealing with them and even better for finding some answers...I am still working on that one.

Thanks.
Yup, turns out all the bullying I experienced throughout my school life was severe and significant. This pattern has repeated itself in my adult life at various points too and has resulted in firstly my drinking and secondly a whole bunch of odd behaviours plus how I react to certain situations. Was very sad to hear this as I really didn't realise what was happening wasn't acceptable, and that adults should have helped me. On the other hand it's a huge relief because it means I can over come all of this and become a much happier person.

Well done UKB, it's a great achievement!
I too was very brutally bullied as a child at school and have often thought it had a very significant affect on my adult life, so was very interested in what you had to say. It's scary how something so long ago can still affect us today!:goodjob:

Congratulations on 60 days blonde.
Acceptance of my past was definitely a major step for me in moving forward. I still need to do a bit of 'digging' every now and again. I know I'll put down the spade completely one day and just accept me for who I am. It's all part of the process I believe and I could only do that whilst abstinent.
Keep pushing on with it no matter how vulnerable you may feel at times. It's worth it in the long run.
Many Blessings
