Hi guys,
It's been 5 months now since I last had a drink, and it feels normal now for me not to wake with a hangover. I still get moments where I think about whether it'd be nice to have a drink, but they pass. I never thought I would be able to say that.
I want to thank every person on this site for all the amazing, incredible support you have given me over the past 5 months - I truly could not have done it without you all. You are a fantastic, brilliant group of people and I will always be grateful for stumbling upon this site one hungover afternoon back in July. I remember that day, looking around MWO and seeing how people were at all different stages and points in their journey. I'll admit I was jealous of those with a bit of time under their belts
But it's not about jealousy, I've learned. I think it's Ruby's tag line "never look down upon someone unless you're giving them a hand up". No one is better or worse than anyone else, we all just got dealt a different hand and we can help each other along if we want, which is what makes MWO so fantastic. So this is me, just saying thanks to everyone who held out their hand for me and helped me out of a dark, lonely and sad place.
I'm not on this site so much anymore, as I've a new job in a new city and I don't have internet access very often. I'm feeling good about being AF and I feel truly blessed for this opportunity to try and live a life that's more authentic and meaningful to me.
Thank you all, and I'll pop in from time to time to say hi :l
With much love, hugs and gratitude,
Neartxx
ps if there's another Dublin meet up, let me know!!!
