God you lazy lot. Where is ya??????

I'm here.

[JackieClaire]

Morning, did you sound the bugle, Starty.

That is quite a story, Choices. The part in bold is what I can see happening to me if I don't actively keep my situation in mind. I feel fine. It would be very easy to "forget" that I absolutely can't and don't want to drink.

Would you consider putting that post in this thread?:https://www.mywayout.org/community/ge...etrospect.html

If anyone else who has returned (Starty, Tabbers?) would be willing to contribute to that thread, I know I and I suspect others would really appreciate it! It is a good thread to peruse anytime I'm feeling like I'm "different" than y'all --- I read those stories and realize that in this, we have more that unites us than divides us. And why not learn from others?

Anyway, Choices, I'm glad you're doing so well. I'm very inspired by your posts -- they help me recommit to this fine way of living. xx, NS

Speaking personally NS, I never seem make it to 6 months despite my being totally convinced 'this time it is different', on so many occasions. Guess I'm just a moron who doesn't know my own mind.

[Tabbers (a.k.a. KTAB)]

Indeed Molly. Best away to work myself.

Good Morning All,

Thanks to everyone for the discussion. It is so easy to slip...and almost never premeditated when emotions are at play. Thanks for the reminder to remain ever vigilant!

Morning..donno where this week is running off too, how can it be wednesday already.

speaking of relapses, any word form Shambles? JC, you might have heard from him?

[IamMary]

doctors or even the health gurus who are really intense about no sugar - won't touch that third rail of drinking. If you believe all the reasons we shouldn't eat sugar, there is no way to sanction drinking alcohol... but they do. They probably know that no one will listen to them if their message includes no booze.

I find they they are almost answer the question for you, 'so how many units? under the 14? yes.. the odd glass'... so Id just nod.

[Mr Vervill]

Yes, it really is about getting your mind right, accepting that fact that, I don't drink.

- for me, checking in here does it and because I enjoy that, it is actually a good part of my day. I agree with Molly that that is one of the main points of AA but since I would never go to a public meeting, I'm really thankful for MWO and the easy access to 24/7 support.


It is cool not to have to worry about enforced abstinence, isn't it?

Me too NS- I really like coming on here. Even though I am going with young Satz to group therapy - everything they say does not replace what I get on here seeing like minded people like yourself succeeding at this day to day. It's what inspires me...


Enforced abstinence ? - I've NEVER liked to be told what to do - a brat through & through

[JackieClaire]

Wassup buttercups?

Hi Molls & JAcks

[JackieClaire]

Jammies are on.............
lovely to see you again Mr V.

Mary, haven't been in touch with Shams. I've got my no news is good news head on. Give me a nudge and I'll drop him a text Friday.

[satz123]

Evening again - anyone around ?

[satz123]

Night so ...................
