Thank you Thank you Thank you everyone!! Chilli-thanks for starting this thread for me! You are so sweet and always remember everyone's anniverseries!!
I could not have made it this far without each and everyone of you. Some of you I only see in passing, others every day but you each touch me in some way and make me stronger.
I am sooooo excited about my 1 year date coming up and although today should have been that date, I have no regrets about the choices I made early on my journey. Each time was a learning experience and made me stronger as I got to know myself better and what I want for my life. Talk about peeling the onion layers!!
May you all feel the joy in your lives that I feel right now.

hi Fluff-
My Motivations:
1. Knowing that if I kept down the path I was going I wouldn't be alive to see my neices and nephews get married and have kids
2. Possibly dying before my dogs and cats
3. Losing my job if I kept calling in sick due to hangovers which would mean losing my house, my pets, etc.
4. Hating how I looked
5. Knowing I'd NEVER lose the weight if I kept drinking
6. the supplements were/are key for me
7. the MWO community-I felt like so many people had been giving me their time and energy helping me to succeed, how could I fail them? Plus I just feel like I'm 'home' here-the support is just extraordinary!!
8. As 1 month turned into 2 into 3 etc, I started feeling a joy for life I hadn't felt in a long time. At 6 months, I finally started understanding that a life without AL wasn't horrible, wasn't scary, in fact it was downright wonderful and that it was a lifestyle I want to continue with until I pass away, hopefully at a VERY ripe old age!
At this point in time, I view AL pretty much like I view cigarrettes and any form of illegal drugs-it's a poison and I don't want/need it in my life. I certainly didn't feel that way when i started this journey but I do now and know I will from this point forward!! That's the main difference. Other differences now compared to before I stopped or at the early parts of the journey are the love of life, more patience, REALLY listening to people (it isn't all about me. huh.),
a calmness I don't think I've ever felt in my life and the desire to try new things again. I'm doing Zumba, learning how to quilt and my agility skills have improved tremendously since I quit drinking. I'm also looking for a tiny travel trailer and hope to do a lot of agility/camping trips by myself with the dogs this summer and onward. I also have realized that my job is just a job, its not a career and there are FAR more important things to be doing then slaving away 60-80 hours a week for nothing (not even money as I get no overtime). So, I leave at 5 with no guilt whatsoever!! This is a HUGE step for me! Now, if I could only find a way to retire in the next 2 years!!
Hope this is what you were looking for Fluff! Thanks for your question!!

Congratulations Papmom! What a huge accomplishment!!
And thanks so much for the post on your success. Very inspirational! I have also started waking up to the realization that I don't know why I've been slaving away at my job for all these years. Obviously I want to be employed, but really there needs to be more balance and that is an area I've decided to start working on in my life as well!
Keep posting - we need these success stories!
