    Tiny milestone - 7 days - at last!

    Just needed to tell someone I made it through a whole week without a drop! I know 7 days isn't a whole lot of AF time in the MWO world but at last I did it. I joined here in 2005 and enjoyed sobriety until the end of last year. I was justwantpeace and stopped coming to MWO once I was 'cured' and my life was 'in order'. I don't even know when or why I first started to consider drinking again - it just crept up on me and I thought I was bigger/better than it. Why I decided I could master the beast is beyond me but I now know for absolute certainty I can't moderate. I drink to get totally hammered, and I don't even enjoy it. I hate myself - before (trying to wrestle with my own head), during (I become someone I despise), how it makes me feel afterwards - physically but mostly mentally. So, I made a full week and feel a little bit proud. Last Wednesday was so tricky but I felt good when I crawled into bed that night and hadn't given in. What a waste of emotional energy though, having to play mind games with myself all day long....phew! Anyway, just had to tell someone who knows about my secret that I made it.

        Nicelife, that is so wonderful that you made it through a whole week and I remember how hard that first one was, but with every sober day you have, life does just keep getting better and easier. I remember how healthy and happy I felt. I wish you the very best in your new journey to get and stay sober and discover a wonderful world that God has created for us. I'd like to invite you to come visit our family in "The Journey Begins Here...." Love ya, Vicki

        but I'm sure not who I used to be!

              Nicelife - congratulations! I don't think 7 days is a tiny milestone, I think it's HUGE and you have good reason to be proud. Every day AF is a victory! I'm so glad you came back and your story is a great reminder of how we need to keep on our guard. sending you good wishes and strength for the journey ahead.
