Johnny - I personally will miss you. :l

However I totally understand how addictive this site can be especially if you have other commitments which are suffering as a result.

When I 1st went AF I was on here the whole time then after a few months as I got more confident I let it drift a bit and quickly got out of the habit. Then I had a few wobbles and started checking in again everyday, since then I have had absolutely no urges to drink, this could be coincidence but I doubt it.... This site works.

I wish you the very best and hope you check in from time to time to say hi xxx

Well done on 120 days Johnny, I echo the worries of a few others, It's only when I didn't have the support of this site that I truly realised what a support system it is! I suppose the fact that I don't/can't use the internet freely at work automatically limits the time I can spend here - maybe you could just allocate an hour/half hour a day? Anyway it's your own decision - you have been a great example to so many of us here,well done and keep in touch

Johnny,
I have enjoyed getting to know you over the short period that I have been on MWO. Wishing you all the best and I hope our paths cross in the future.

OH Johnny-I will miss you terribly!! You have done great work and have been such a rock and inspiration to us all, especially us Newbies. Your struggles and success during the World Cup were monumental and it was your fight that kept me sober during my time of doubt.

I totally understand the need to pull back from MWO and I commend you for recognizing that priorities have to be set.

I wish you all the best and hope to see you here now and again. God Speed!!

Hey guys, I won't be GONE, GONE, if you know what I mean.

I'll pop in on the odd occasion on the weekend or so. I just can't afford to spent hour after hour on here. And in case you will not notice me around don't want you to think it's because i've gone AWOL, in terms of being AF.

As you can see, even now I'm proving the point I was trying to make. it's 1.20pm i'm supposed to be working but I wanted to sneak on 'quickly' to see what the responses to my post had been. It's just too distracting. Let's just use the term 'addiction'

So this isn't one of those, farewell friends, make a good life of it, rather a farewell for now, I need to make sure I get my life in general sorted now that i'm doing better being AF, and if i'm struggling, I will be back here. If i'm not struggling I will still post the occasional update.

I miss you guys allready

Congratulations on 120 days, Johnny! My first months I spent all day on here too, but it was necessary and time well spent. There are times I take long breaks for many reasons, but even when I don't feel like posting, or even reading a lot, I usually make a point to just look at it for 5 minutes first thing in the morning (not logging in makes that easier - unless I get what they call in AA a "burning desire"). I find it keeps me grounded (humble may be a better word), reminds me never to take my sobriety for granted. Something to remember always. I hope you'll keep up the AA meetings too (those are only an hour a day right? ). Always drop in if you need to - we'll still be here. Now go get some work done! Take care!

Johnny,

Your posts have been so very helpful to me. I won't say farewell because I know you will be popping in from time to time. Will miss your more frequent posts.
Great job on 120 days, may you always come here for support when you need it.

I completely understand where Johnny is coming from. I love so many of you so dearly, sometimes I feel totally addicted to the website to see whats going on and what and how so many of you are doing!

I am as well guilty of neglecting things that I need to do, take care of, or play with (my son) due to being caught up in the whirlwind of MWO. Its nobodys fault but my own and I take full responsibility for that. I think its bad to replace one addiction for another in some sense, not that MWO is a bad addiction, not at all! But somewhat of a time addiction that "can" consume us, if we let it.

I personally, have no plans to go anywhere, but do need to keep in check the time I allow myself to be on here due to me not neglecting other areas of my life that need my full attention to! I think that is the very best way to use the site, and the healthiest!

See ya around my bestest Buddy Johnny!!
