Hooray, BH! (Bodacious does sound better than broken, No Sugar):
Congratulations! Thanks for smoothing the path ahead of me and for your support and honesty here. I know you've been through a lot to get here - you are a strong woman!

broken halo has 100 days AF!
Thank you again everyone...wow, bagpipes and everything! :H
Today was very special for me. Last time I didn't quite make it to 100 having fallen at around 94 days or so. What's different this time? Me, I am different. I have different coping mechanisms now, and different strategies to fall back on when I need to. It really is true that every day without AL is a blessing and something to be thankful for. I'm not depriving myself of anything but hangovers, anxiety, poor health, and even poorer finances! I saved my AL money for the last 100 days. I bought 2 new dresses, a gorgeous bag, new shoes. I took my daughter for dinner. I never will get tired of the new found respect and admiration in her eyes when we see each other. Of course, she is my daughter and loves me no matter what, that's a given. But my drinking was robbing us of something fundamental. That respect, admiration, pride was waning.
Now it's back. It's one of the many blessings that being AL free has brought me.
I look around this site today and see many, many success stories. The long termers always gave me hope that I can do this too. More than can, I WANT it, more than anything.
If you're new, finding your way around, looking for a way out, please stick with us. Day 1, or day 101, every sober day is a treasure.
I'm not stumbling through life from one drink till the next any more; I am living. Every aspect of my life has improved from being free. Being sober means gaining everything and losing absolutely nothing but heartache and misery.
Thanks again for being here to celebrate with me.Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it! ~ Goethe
