Hi ,:new:

Very new here and frankly feel like I have been able to grab a rope before I went under thanks to the book ( RJ) and this wonderful place, for the first time in a long time I have a sense of hope. A long story which I shall not bore you with. Being a male I am like most men emotionaly FROM ANOTHER PLANET. Having read posts here I am so blown away by the humour and love and acceptance. Anyway looking forward to sharing with you. At the moment on the supps and using the aussie hypno cd for old soaks instead of the MWO one I agree with some of the posts here those teeth on es-cu-la-tor-s I still fret with when my daughter decides she can run the rest of it with out holding my hand. I am also using the topa on 75mg at the mo about to triate up to 100. Currently 10 days al free with 2 slip ups after 20 + years of heavy drinking. Riding the bike to work every day but still eating crap. By the way the thread on farting well being sober and depressed I havent laughed that much for a long time as my gran use to say " it is a sad bum that can not sing loudly with joy ever now and then" god bless her soul

cheers
dan :thanks:

Hi Dan,

And welcome from another alien!

You found a great bunch of folks here.
They will change your life if you let them.

My history sounds similar to yours.
20 plus years hard drinking - joined MWO a year ago and had my last alcoholic drink in the middle of July last year.
Currently Alcohol free and lovin'it!
Who would have thunk it?????

Post and read and ask any questions you like - loook forward to having another male around.
Too many women here if you ask me - I think they think they own the place!

One day I will inleash the fury of my Zargon death ray on them - that'll sort them out - or my name isn't Yod Zarggx!


(D'OH - I think I blew my cover again !)

See ya

Satori

Danny, welcome. Congrats on your decision to make a healthier life for yourself. Good job. You are well on your way. Read and post away. We are here for you.

And don't mind Satori (he'll get you into trouble). Because we woman do own the site! (cough, RJ = girlie). And his real name is Yoda, by the way. :H . :h you Yoda!

Good luck, Danny!

Love, Me

hi bit shy but here goes

Hi Dan~ Congrats on the 10 days! We welcome ALL men here.... but some of the guys here might scare them away....
Chief with his manly Hot Rod,
Satori with his love handles and death ray....
and then BHOG (Bald Headed Old Guy)..... I still say he should change his name to BHSM (Bald Headed Stud Muffin)~ just to name a few...

This is a great place to start. How old is your daughter? Jacqui's little granddaughter started a very emotional thread, "NNNNNVNNNGGGGGGGGIIIIIIIAAAAAAAAFFFF", and the rest of us went into panic mode trying to decipher what Jacqui REALLY needed! :H Alas, it was another happy ending with a sigh of relief, a bit of bile, and a rip from you-know-where.
Welcome! :welcome:

love handles

Yeah, Satori, thought you were the love handle guy!!?!? Stop trying to confuse this "woman" "uhem",not too hard to do anyway, you are challenging me..............

and Bean, we are a friendly bunch of gals, don't listen to these guys, though I know (HOPE) they are just joking!!
You'll LOVE IT HERE!!!!!!

Bye for now, love :h and hugs!!!!!:l
