Thanks everyone for the congrats, it means the world to me to have the friendships i have made on here. 2 years may seem a long time to be logging on here daily but if that is what it takes to keep sober then so be it. MWO is much more interesting most of the time than facebook!
I had a happy day today, the children are so proud of me as are family and friends and i am proud of myself. To reflect on what i was before i stopped drinking to what i am now just amazes me. I dont lie to myself anymore, i dont have to justify my actions, i like who i am and i never felt that when drinking.
A friend said to me today that she thought i had left the site that had helped me and i told her that this site is my accountability each and every day. In the time i have been here i have seen so many leave and so many stop and start again and again. This site is like my shot of insulin each day, i need to have it. The need to post is not as great but the need to be with people that get it does. No one truly understands what an alcoholic goes through, situations that are easy for normal drinkers still takes thought and preparation. I still occasionally have that al brain telling me i am okay, logical brain which is 99% of my thinking knows that is total bullshit. I keep that 1% shut at all times.
The choice is completely and utterly off the table until my 100th birthday!AF free 1st December 2013 - 1st December 2022 - 9 years of freedom

Congratulations ava!!Quitting and staying quit isn't easy, its learning a whole new way of thinking. It's accepting a new way of life, and not just accepting it, embracing it...
Worry about tomorrow, tomorrow. Just get through today. Tomorrow will look after itself when it becomes today, because today is all we have to think about.
Friendship is not about how many friends you have or who you've known the longest. It's about who walked into your life, said "I'm here for you", and proved it.
