Hi everyone - I wanted to officially say 'Hello'.
I joined the site and officially went AF on 1/18/2008 (intending to mod after 4 weeks), but was very leery about this 'sticking' so have not jumped in with 10 fingers to post. Have read a lot and am familiar with many of the names here.
Well over 30 days later....Guess what? I think I'm here to stay...
My life so far without AL has been awesome, awesome, awesome on most days. So odd and wonderful to have my life back. These awesome days are the ones when I am at home at night and have entirely stopped the 10-1am drinking habit I developed. I do have a very hard time becoming that new person who does not drink to excess in social situations, however. BTW, in the few posts I have made, I have been a big proponent of the Hypno CDs. They have literally changed my life in many ways. I think I need to keep giving that positive message to new people so they can see that it does help for some people and we can all use all the tricks available..
I'm introducing myself today because I have a social event to go to tomorrow night and am very nervous. I'm loading up on my hypno sessions and supps today and tomorrow (good lord - I even had a thought last night that I could sneak into a restroom and quickly get a hypno fix if I needed it - that's how much it helps me ...maybe I should be more afraid that I will sneak into someone's backyard and lay in their hammock in lieu of drinking : ).
Anyway - - I may need more help going forward so am going to post more to try to give support as well.
Sorry for the long post but wanted to say "Thank you" to all of you for the vicarious support and humor that has gotten me through so far - you are all an unbelievable source of support to everyone - even us lurkers. Hope to be able to return the favor.
