    My New Goal.

    Hi All,

    I am so happy to be able to say I have made 90 days.

    Three months ago I was in a terrible place with my drinking, I had hit my rock bottom and I didn`t walk I just stumbled, I looked awful, I felt awful and I could see no way out of the terrible merrygo round I had created around AL and I, I was so desperate to stop but I couldn`t see how it would ever end but then one Sunday evening I drank so hard and fast it was a wonder I made it through the night and I got up knowing that I could do it no more and stopped that very day.
    Here I am now so happy with myself, I no longer have the guilt of drinking upon me, I look better, I have more confidence and I have lost weight and with each day that passes my desire to drink lessens, in the beginning it was all I thought of 24 hours a day and now I only think about drink if maybe I am reminded.
    Its not all plain sailing as I done this last year and got to five months and caved due to the death of my dear dog and a major change of routine, I thought I could get back on the ladder as quick as I fell off but it took me 8 months to get on again so I know the dangers and am fully aware on how I fell and what not to do.
    My goal is to get to 5 months and beyond and then stay AF for as long as I choose not to, I know I can`t be sensible around drink and will never be so I would be rather silly to go through all this again.
    Well done to everyone who is trying so hard to get this illness under control but in the end it is so worth the effort.
    With luv Flo x
    Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep. If I die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take.

    Well done flosie on 90 days, that's terrific and having a bigger and better goal to go for.

    Taking it one day at a time is a must for a lot of us as this beast is always waiting for our weaknesses to appear,being prepared is a must. keep up the great work your doing on yourself for yourself.

            Congratulations Flossie!!! I can really relate to the stumble off the wagon thinking it would be easy to get right back on. I too spent 8 months of hell after a relapse to get with it again. You are so right - I just can't imagine ever wanting to go through THAT again.

            Enjoy your special day!!!! :yougo::yougo::yougo::yougo::yougo::yougo:

                              My New Goal.

                              Thank you for your post Flo.
                              I can relate alot to what you have written. My journey(this time!) has been very similar. I believe I truely hit rock bottom at the end of my last drinking binge. I am currently on day 53 and feel great. Like you it hasnt all been plain sailing and ive had to make some huge 'life' decisions, some of which I want to do, some of which id rather not. But I know these are things I have to do to maintain my sobriety. Its all well and good for me to just not drink, but its just scratching the surface. I have had to dig deep down and start to look at things that have triggered my drinking over the yrs that at times I would rather not.
                              It was great to read your post, and hope we can both reach our goals and beyond.
                              To Infinity And Beyond!!
