Biker, 6 months!!! That is fantastic. You must feel amazing. I'm guessing at 6 months, your body has lost all traces of any damage done by booze, yes? I read somewhere about how each cell rejuvinates every so often, I guess in time it's a whole new you. I feel so good when I can get a few days in a row in, especially if I work out and eat well. 6 months. I'd love to know that feeling. I'm gonna go back on the routine I did when I first joined, which was coming on here a lot, but also being good with the supplements. I've been all over here in Vegas and I can't find any damn Kudzo though. I guess I need to get it online. Anybody know of some good stuff? It is high maintenance, but guess it is worth it. I was taking my Campral, which was 2 pills 3 times daily. Kudzo at 3 pills a day. L_glute powder 3 times a day, not to mention a bunch of other vitamins and minerals. I worked out everyday in some capacity. Read a lot. Ate great, tons of protein. Wow, just typing it seems like a lot of work, haha. Anyway, it worked before, it can work again. That is my plan. I'm also probably moving at the end of this month. It will be a downgrade in living conditions, but maybe its best I live on my own, and not be around my so called "friends" anymore. I'm even considering getting out of Vegas once all trouble is behind me. I have to stick around for court and all the punishment. Once I'm settled up, I'll probably be looking to get out. I know I'll always have this problem, but I'm hoping a change of scenery will help. Plus, I can reinvent myself. So, that are my thoughts on what I have to do.

It sounds like you may need to separate yourself from your drinking/partying pals. Gosh, Morrison you are what? 34? You have a LOT of life left in you and it can be a good one if you choose it!!!

Heed the advice of the others here. Get some vitamins in you. Drink broth and juices. I found broth and tea easier on the tummy when detoxing. Sipping on broth really soothed a sour stomach and it will replenish you with some nutrients.

Vegas.... well having lived there myself it can be what you call a place to die for a problem drinker. I am saying this only because I have lived there. Although I didn't drink while being there I know if I had of 'blossomed' into my problem drinking being there, I would of been dead by now. Crazy.

We are here for you and I know you can do this. You have to keep telling yourself that you have to do whatever it will take. We will be here for you.

I'm so gosh darn proud of you !!! You are totally amazing !!! 6 Months !!! Wooo Hoooo!!!!! Isn't it nice to sleep once again in your own bed ? Nice to have you back....

Morrison, sounds like you have a plan and as you well know, that is more than half the battle we all share here... Baby steps... We are here for you.
This weekend is Thanksgiving here in Canada, so I have a long long weekend.. I actually do not go back into work until Wednesday !!! Yahooo !!! My garden has to be pulled and prepared for next spring and we have some fencing to do... Never a dull moment.
With a little luck I'll finish that crochetted table cloth thingy so I can start another alfagahan.
Luv, you're right, Christmas will be upon us before we know it !! Happy shopping sweetie !!

Great to hear from everybody !! Hugs,

WELCOME HOME BEAR! We missed you.

Morrison glad to see a more upbeat post today...it gets better each day...hell each hour!

Nibs, you are always a busy bee too. What are you cooking for thanksgiving?

30 days???

Oh my, Thanksgiving dinner. It is so funny how powerful the thought of that is to me. Being away from my family, I haven't had a good dinner like that in so long. I'm drooling at the thought of it. Miss all of the family getting together and going over to Grams house to eat. Now you have me all hungry. Oh well, I didn't cook a good meal in a bit, so I guess I know what I'm doing when I get off work. Luv, you're right. I'm feeling much better. Having to run around at work burned some of the poison out of me. Nibs, I hope you enjoy your time off. Sounds like you are a workaholic in your own yard. I miss having a veggie garden too. Can't really get that going out here with this dryness and heat. More, I'll just pick the book up next time I'm online ordering something. I don't want you to have to go through the trouble, but I appreciate the thought. I gotta role. No food at home, so I need to stop at the store on the way home. Hmmm. What should I cook tonight? I'll decide on the drive home. Thanks all. I'll be back tomorrow to chat with you all. And also, it looks like we have a lot more members on this thread. That is great to see. :l

Morrison, was just looking in to see how you were getting on. You have posted loads and sound good. PLUS you have a lot of lovely ladies (and some guys) looking out for you.
I hope you are doing ok

30 days???

Hi Amelia. I'm feeling much better. Not great, but better. I didn't cook anything, cause I was so hungry, so I just made this huge turkey sandwich. One thing with me, is when I go on a drinking binge, I barely eat at all. I need to refuel. I never understood those guys that would sit at the bar and pound beers but just eat and eat. Wings, and fries, and all that stuff. When I'm drinking, thats enough in my belly. Sadly, that is not good to do either. Probably better off eating greasy food than none at all. But one thing I really enjoy is eating. So, I have to keep in mind that I deprive myself the great pleasure of food with my drinking. Add that one to the list of why drinking sucks. And yes Amelia, lots of lovely ladies on this site. And, some cool guys. Sorry, couldn't bring myself to say "lovely guys," haha.

Bear, I am dying to hear about your trip. Did you take pictures? I am so happy to read you stayed AF....BUT, I knew you would. I had faith in you. YEAH for you!!!! TELL US WE ARE DYING FOR SOMETHING!!!!

More2 did you survive the diet cleanse thingy? How was your trip? I was thinking of you!!!! You have been very quiet since getting home. You ok????

30 days???

Hi all,
I can relate with wanting to move Morr. I have pretty much isolated myself these days. After I had kids I did not want my party friends over. I quit going and they quit coming over. I do my drinking at home and try not to get loud or show my high for my kids sake. I only have 1 friend that I socialize with out of work. I have a sketchy past and have done alot of things I'm not proud of. Most everyone at work knows my past and I know they talk about me behind my back. I have been working there on and off for 25 years. I would love to move somewhere and start over as my new self. I sort of think I'm gonna be stuck here till I can quit drinking. Just a feeling. bird

Morrison and Bird,
I'm new on MWO and am just finishing my day four AF - so I have a long road ahead of me and am not in much of a position to give anyone advise. But I do have a quote that I found somewhere awhile ago and I keep it with me. When you both wrote about starting over it made me think that I wanted to share it with you:

When choosing your path --- "Choose Momentary Amnesia"
Forgetting about the past allows one to live in the present and to shape the future that isn't anchored in the past. The purpose of amnesia is to get one to think about where they are, not who they are, and what is really important to them.
The "what is really important" represents an opportunity to build a new "who they are"
I think what you said Morrison about writing down everything you feel right now is a really good idea. Every last feelling and emotion about what you have put yourself through and how much you hate the destructive drinking life and on and on. Then put the paper in your drawer and choose "momentary amnesia" - if you need to draw from the past you have it in writing and you can go back and experience it. I think it is time to stop beating yourself up, dust yourself off, get ahold of those bootstraps, pull 'em up and let's go......
All my best to you :heart:
