Hi Lisa, I too see you on FB at times. You've made a remarkable turn around in your life after so much tragedy. Thanks for posting and giving all here encouragement to find their own way out. xo beth

Kate, I know some may think you are kinda tough, but your "tough love' kept me away from a bottle of wine a few times. It works for some...some maybe not. I have never been one that needed it kinda sugar coated...(not that, that is BAD, because everyone is different), but you kicked my butt a few times. My 30 day thread buddies...we went through it. We gained 2 angels during our thread and some of us found complete sobriety, some are moderating...some just lost touch, but we spent a lot of time together. I admire and love so many here. Rusty and T have talked me through it in chat, Mar and Gia...I think it is good we live apart...man we'd have been hell on wheels....lol Watching some lead in sobriety like Dets, Kate, Chief....it gives you hope. Because at times, I had no hope. I couldn't even type hope....
Rubes, we are gonna visit you one day, me and T will meet ya at the cabin. Maybe Greenie...there has been so much success here. If you are new...read those threads and hang on to them. I chose a few members that fit my personality and I saw thriving and stalked them like a hawk.

Lisa, I was just thinking of you the other day -- I am not on here much (I bop into chat every now and then) but I hadn't seen you around in awhile. We have had many conversations/chats, and I am so glad you are doing well. You've fought the demon! All the best to you and your kids.

Lisa, we would have been hells on wheels.. the three of us together. I'll be heading to Simey's house sometime when things settle down my way..the damage we will do together, there won't be a shoe shop left untouched or an Antique shop...among other things, lol.

Hah! Neither did I, I thought you meant damage to credit cards. That sounds great. I'll be bringing Little Gia with me, we'll have a great time.

Yep, 18 months completely AF. went on vacations, class reunion, dinners...alcohol all around and I am still AF. I am not here to brag about my accomplishment, but to say without MWO and God, I wouldn't be here at all. The first day I logged on here which was on March of 2007 I was so drunk I had to close one eye to keep from seeing double. I was suicidal. I didn't care about myself or anyone around me. I have made some life long friends here. I rarely come here anymore, but I wanted to drop in and say..."If I can do it...trust me...you can do it". I came here as tiredofcrying, then I was luvuall. I was banned for awhile because I am not the most pleasant drunk to say the least , so when I came back I was brittzak. If you see no hope...go back and read some of my story. There is ALWAYS hope. We are not failures, we are not drunks...WE are folks with a problem that can be fought and won. Keep posting, reading, fighting. I know what worked for me, but I think everyone has to find their own way. So, please keep fighting and using this site for help. It works! LUVUALL to the many people that helped me get to where I am. I love so many of you.
Lisa

What a great testimony. Thanks for coming back to share and bringing a message of inspiration and hope! Well done and congratulations.

I remember you from the 30 Days and Beyond Thread. I am so very happy for you.

I remember some of the other folks on that thread like Bird who is still around and of course Cowgal who is no longer with us. Then there was Toughintexas. I wonder how she is doing. I think she was really struggling.

All the best to you and I hope your children are doing well.

I talked to Toughintexas last night and she wanted me to let you all know she is OK.
And WAY TO GO Lisa 18 months !!

MUCH LOVE

Bob

SO HAPPY to hear my fellow Texan gal is doing OK.

I had 2 choices when I came here....the only further down I could have went would have been 6 ft under or to get up. It was HARD...I have spent some time reading my old posts...God I was in bad shape. Makes me more grateful for those that didn't give up on me. TRULY GRATEFUL!
