30 days???

Oky, it is so hard to explain...I guess because I really don't understand WHAT happens...it just does. When you get home, that is when you really notice the changes. I am doing my diet, taking my tinctures, etc....it is just a different way of living. I want to LIVE now where as before I exisisted...barely at time. AL makes you so incredibly depressed. The depression is gone. I even baked cookies for my kids and everyone at work this week. I used to bake them cookies every Sunday. Everyone at work has noticed a difference too. They keep commenting on how happy I am. Some even said my vacation must have been just what I needed...I said "you'll never know just how much it was needed"...of course they have no clue why I say that...

30 days???

WOW!!

I am so happy for you Oky!! It must be nice, no desire?? Even when I am on that "pink cloud", I always think "I'll be ok to drink in a month or so", then that time comes and I drink, then go spiralling down .......................really fast too...............:upset:

I am waiting to hear from Barry and if Houston doesn't work, I will contemplate Vermont, we will see how this stint in AA works too..............I am on day 3 AF, and finally feeling pretty good..............but this is the dangerous time, not only a weekend approaching, but feeling good makes me forget how shitty I felt even a day ago.................

I have been nursing a cold too, so I think the combo (besides the heavy partying over the 4th weekend) just made it worse...............

Love you guys, another pleasantly busy day today, but I will try to goof off here if I get a chance!!

love and hugs.............:l:h:l:h

Okydoky, Isn't it wonderful!?? I too thought uh, who will I be with no drink in hand? I'm still me! But better! I just love it!
It is total freedom. In the big obvious ways but also in little subtle ways that unfold before you as you live your life with a new awareness. I am averjoyed for you! Greenie

30 days???

I'm back here at the library. Had another WONDERFUL day
I sat down at breakfast and Nancy brought me some coffee and said "Okydoky"...I smiled.
So chatted with Barry and asked about their place being on the market and he said it's too big for them. And I asked if they plan to stay in Vermont and he said they will keep a home base here but plan to travel more.
Rhonda arrived and asked how I was and tears of greatfulness flowed out of my eyes and she hugged me. Todays session was just as profound if not more than Tuesday's. I really wish we could get a recording but I'm sure Barry gets all we need but there is soooo much that just wows me.
I asked Barry if Rhonda needed any kind of feeback from me because so much of what she said was so relevant to me only and he said something like...It's just you speaking to you.
So...I truly am beginging to love me and not care about what others think. That has always been a big issue for me. And there is so much great advise through Rhonda from me to me. I am so excited to live my life finally to it's fullest and stop wasting it away.
So after the session I drove around Lake Bomoseen, remembering the days when we drove to the lake, looking forward to getting there so I could have the 1st sip. But today I just felt one with nature and soaked it all in and when I stopped at the Farrow Gallery, I told Patrick "It's so beautiful here" and he said something about the "no billboard law" but I was here maybe 10 years ago and I am seeing things with new, clear eyes.
Thank you all for your support.

So happy your feeling well Okydoky. It is something that can't really be explained. I think Greenie should be almost 30 days AF now. Right Greenie?????
Cowgal...you do whatever you feel in your heart. Have you ever tried the Topa or Campral in conjunction with the supps?
I just ate way to much...but it was so good. Fish, squash casserole and collards...YUM...stoped at a little place on the way home today and they have all fresh veggies...homegrown...I bought tsome tomatoes and fresh shelled peas. Also got some Quinoa (?) ...never ate it but thought I'd try it tomorrow. Been raining again today...which I love.

Her suicide post may have been in responce to lenair failure

30 days???

No one method is 100% guaranteed...and like I have stated repeatedly...I can not testify to the longevity of this method. Just as with any method to sobreity......one method may work for some and one for another. The goal here is SOBRIETY...however you chose to do it and are sucessful. If Lenair doesn't work long term...I try something else. Some succeed in AA...I didn't. That does not mean I don't support anyone that AA DOES work for...and it works for millions. Whatever helps you meet your goal...go for it and share with us, I am happy to read of success and the MANY ways we are all reaching that goal...and MANY of us are getting there through a collabortion of techniques. For me, MWO and Lenair seem to be working right now.

30 days???

Wow...I feel aweful...I hope I am not responsible. I remember reading MWO success stories and wanting to die because I couldn't do it but I could never do that to my boys since they just lost their dad 3 years ago.
Beetle,
If you read this, maybe you could go back for a follow up and address other issues 1st?
Please know I am praying for you.

Okydoky,
YOU are not responsible for anyone other than yourself. Drinking affects many and we are here to support one another through good and bad. You happen to be in a good spot right now....is good to read. We all have ups and downs...that will never change as this is life. Cherish your moment there may be a time you need to look back at today and KNOW life is worth it.

[okydoky]

30 days???

Thank you...I needed to hear that...

You are completely right on this point, Brit/Luv! First of all, no one really knows what is going on with beetle today......evie is guessing.

No one should ever feel badly when they rejoice for having success in not drinking! It is after all, why we are all here, to become healthy non-drinkers. When I first came here, I had no idea that MWO would work for me. In fact, if I would have made a bet, I would have bet that it would not work for me. But, by reading about the success of others, hearing their joy and relief, kept me going, got me to download the book and make my plan and committ!! Without those success stories, I probably would have left, never even giving this a try. Thank you to all, that inspired me to do this! I am forever grateful!!
