    Onwards and Upwards

    I first came to this site in December 2009 and decided to go AF without posting, I stayed 4 months AF but started drinking when I went through a terrible terrible depression in May this year, I really thought I had lost it all and would have lost it all and a lot more where it not for this site and the very many special people I met and came to know so well.

    I am 30 days AF today and it was a struggle believe me, I had many false starts during May but with the help of everyone here I got back on the wagon and trundled along, what kept me going was knowing I was not alone in the challenge.

    Recently I came to the realization that I am moving on in my life, moving on from my past, I am taking a keen interest in work, studying, astronomy, reading and recently started meeting my friends again whom I left behind while going through this black period, I am starting to get in touch again with myself and doing things I like and beginning to look forward to things, making plans such as getting a new place closer to the city and getting a new more challenging job as well as getting to see my son more often.

    I don't log on to the site as much due to me being a bit busy with other things which need my attention right now but I am very happy to be able to catch up on the activities in my favorite threads in the evenings.

    Thanks again to everyone for helping me get this far and its onwards and upwards from now on.

    All the best,

    Wanna

        Wanna, you're doing a terrific job on finding yourself, and that discovery will only lead on to more wonderful, rewarding things. You have many reasons to keep this up, but the most important is finding your soul again, becoming the person you really are. I applaud you, your journey, and your daily fight to get back to who you really are.

          You made amazing strides wanna. It has also been a pleasure getting to know over the past few months. I believe good things are in store for the both of us. It is truly miraculous what we uncover when we remove the facade alcohol created. I wish you nothing less than success and happiness as you journey forward. Go mbeanna? Dia duit....john

            I have read many of your posts over the past month or so, and every single one of them is so honest and unplifting! You really seem to have found your stride!! I am so very, very happy for you and for your family, because, no matter what the future brings, you will be living a sober life which is always a much happier and definitely more stable life! Congratulations for all of your hard work!!

                        The journey is the goal. As long as you're fighting the good fight and you're not giving up on giving up, you're winning. It's not about how often you get knocked down, it's about how often you get up again. Sobriety the goal for sure. But striving to get to that goal is what it's about. Not getting there. Because the journey never ends. The journey is the goal.
