You are a great example to the people around you and everyone here. When we remove alcohol from our lives and we are genuine and honest in becoming better people, magic happens. It's not really magic, it is just the universe or God, or some positive and loving energy, surrounding us and working with us, and for us, at last. This is the real us, and it is our truth. The path ahead is open, rich, and exciting.

Keep it going mate. Bravo!

You are sounding so strong these days! You will be able to enjoy your happiness sober, because of that strength. And thank you for the reminder about giving back - it's easy to forget how simple that can be, and so fulfilling.

Hi Pixie,
Thanks , I now can say I will do my best ...I am just back from a running of 5-7 miles that is the first time I have done after a five years.
So its been a source of energy.
Go ahead with AL life.:h

I remember you coming on board Dix.....welll played Sir........well played

Be proud of what you have done, and keep on keeping on brother :goodjob:

terribly happy!

I too remember when you joined us Dixon!!

You have done an amazing job, and have really embraced all that is positive about your sober journey. Don't let ANYTHING ruin your positive being!!! You will achieve all you desire on this path. Sometimes we see AL as a reward when we are happy or a crutch when we are sad. It is neither! It just messes things up.

You should be sooooooo proud of yourself and excited about what else is about to happen!!

Lots of love and hugs, Nicey.

There is a continuous flow of happiness...
Its a really gratitude mode!
I want to live a normal,average life and that is the confidence for me.
The feeling of ups and down are not good though there are certainly ups and down in life but feeling always should be normal.
Any comment here?

Hi Dixon,

totally agree with you. Ups and downs are part of life and we should accept them when they come. Its ok to be sad and its great to be excited and happy. This doesnt mean that we need to turn to AL to help us cope or help us to celebrate. It just make a bad situation worse and ruins a happy occasion.

Hi Allan,
I agree with you about life.
I also believe that AL abuse is our own made habit ,I know we born in with out it, if the habit can be learned, certainly can be unlearned.
Then why not unlearn for peace of mind????

Dixon, I am sorry to say but I dont totally agree with you on this one. I think all people are different and some are way more likely to be hooked than others. There are leaders and there are followers, there are those that can?t live without adrenaline and constantly need to put their life in danger to feel alive. I for example have an addictive personality, if I like something I want to do it again and again until I get sick. If I see a movie that I like I will watch it several times in the cinema and then numerous times on dvd until I get so sick of it that I never watch it again. This is why I have never tried any hard core drugs...because if I do, I am pretty sure I will lose myself. I know alcohol is bad but there are worse drugs out there...

I hope others guys will post their views on it.
For me,I am agree with you that there are followers and leaders in the world and that's man made so not the reality..habit can be given up it's not a universal truth.
Let's see how do other friends come up?

Dixon,

I was just saying that for us it was easier to get addicted to AL, possibly to our genes and personalities. But we of course can make a decision to stop, thats totally in our power. There are so many success strories on MWO as a proof to that.

Let's stick with reality and say we can do..
Best of luck for you for your AF journey.
Yes,winners say it is possible but can be difficult but loser say it can be possible but it is too difficult..
The old one statement but worthy to remember!!!
