Not Yet AF
:new: I have read many inspiring stories on this site which makes me somewhat hopeful. I have recently quit smoking (Aug 28) and now need to take on the challenge to become alcohol free as well, for me it is wine free! I have let this habit dictate my life, around my activities, my kids activities! It has taken it's toll on me and my health! My teeth, my complexion and now I'm losing my hair! (Which is probably why I am now taking this step to become alcohol free as well) I hope I finally be honest enough with myself to know that I do need to become alcohol free AF. Thanks for your time!

Welcome kneedsrbad!!! :welcome: Great to see you here. Congratulations on quitting smoking. We have some others here who have recently quit smoking too!!
It is great that you realize that you need to stop drinking. There is so much support here. Be sure to keep reading & posting and reading & posting. It really does help. You'll find that there are others going thru the same thing as you.
We have people here that have been AF for years and some that are AF for months and some for a day. We are all in this together and support each other.
Looking forward to getting to know you."Only I can change my life. No one can do it for me.".....Carol Burnett

Hi friends, new and old. I share weather systems with Allswell, it has been an exceptionally nice day. I have been enjoying several days off at home, getting lots of things done. I definite would have accomplished less if I weren't AF. Got a bunch of bulbs in today, no such thing as too many. I'm off to the store soon to get some ingredients I'm missing for the apple pumpkin soup I plan to make. I attended a professional conference on Saturday, and saw some long-time colleagues. They all agreed that my life, working just part-time, is better balanced than theirs. I have so many blessings and you all are among them.My life is better without alcohol, since 9/1/12. My sobriety tool is the list at permalink 236 on the toolbox thread under monthly abstinance.

Made it here. Thanks for the well wishes. I'll post more later or tomorrow. My parents have aged so much in the last 6 months. Really gets to me. Just trying to stay positive and enjoy each minute.
Had to use my mantra today with my brother. One Step at a Time and You Don't Have to Attend every Argument you're invited to.

Hi, Loveys,
I'm back where I belong. I've missed you.
I read back, and everyone seems to be doing well on the AL front--better than me. I've slipped off and on the past week--nothing rash-- I was so sick I didn't give a damn about anything. AF tonight, and I want to stay that way.
Still battling bronchitis, but the worst is over. Dry, hacking cough is making me lose my beauty sleep, which I can ill-afford.:H
Everyone take care.
Love,
