Honestly, humility never killed anyone... but drugs and booze will. And I can't say as how my ideas on how to run my life have worked very well either!!! :H So I'm taking suggestions, even if I'm not 100% liking it...

Yeah, but we didn't like being drunks %100 either.

I remember in one AA meeting a guy told me, "I would've walked on my hands completely naked across the room if it meant I would be sober."

Whatever it takes, my friend.

Yes - I can't believe how far I've come from this time last year.
It's taken that long - but I can remember sitting in the office posting on MWO - afraid to go home - because I KNEW I was going to have wine. How 'cracked' is that!
Could not see even one evening witout my crutch.

Roll on to now - I am AF ( apart from hols - arrrrrgh )
I do not even miss or crave it - truly !
I have survived family gatherings, wedding, funerals, nights out, nights in
But - the last frontier - I now find myself in the space of thinking of my next week away in June in Greece with the usual suspects - as AF as I cannot be arsed with the drinking malarkey !

And it's constant posting on here in the Army - and the penny finally dropping that I don't NEED alcohal to function day to day & yes - have fun without it !!!

How MAD is that ?
THANKS ARMY !!!!:thanks::h

Well my dear, I hope for everyone's sake that walking on my hands naked isn't going to be called for!!! (Hey, at least gravity will be on my side if I'm upside-down...)

(I'll give you a call later if you're going to be around...)

It's a journey for sure Satz!

It's a whole lot easier when you have the space to breathe that being AF for a while affords... it's hard to think straight with the daily mind chatter we get when we're active. And the more time one has under their belt, the more one can accomplish sober. Defo a journey as opposed to an event.

OK! I'm still here! Instead of being half way to the gym. I blame yiz all!

It wasn't a drop so much Ms A - as a slow falllllllling of the penny
Realised I can actually go day to day without the alcohol.
A very bad daily 'habit' I had fallen into.
But when I stopped daily wine - I continued into weekends & found I LIKED it .
Liked the clear headed feeling very much. A feeling of power kinda

Not out of the woods completely Ms A - but happy with where I am for now
