Thank you to this community. Just knowing I can come here and connect with others who share my problem has been wonderful. It's like the conversation I wanted to have and never did because I thought I would be judged and misunderstood.
I have not started the program - waiting for the supplements and CD's - but already notice a change - in my thought process and where I go for comfort.
Thank you so much - all of you BRAVE people.

Hi Wellseasoned,

It is great to talk freely and relate so closely. This site has made a huge difference in my own struggle.
And best of all, you will eventually find that you can belly laugh even when you're sober.

Welcome,

Re: Belly Laugh

Call me techno challenged - I can't find the post you are referring to. Any direction? I could use a good laugh. I received my package today and tonight will make day 1 of no drinking for me.
Thanks!

Found it! Thank you SO MUCH - I got a great SOBER belly laugh out of those! Humor - the BEST medicine.
I'm on Day 2. So far so good. Listening to the CD's was a bit challengig this AM - my family has a hard time giving me the privacy I need. Tomorrow a "DO NOT DISTURB SIGN" on my door might be appropriate!
Thanks again for the "direction" to some laughs.

Re: Belly Laugh

Oh Goody, now you can give us some new material in the way of jokes!
Yeah, I'm basically "clueless" on this computer...just kinda learnin as I go. I really did live in a "Tree House" w/no runnin h2o for 18 yrs so this is a drastic change for me!
Now I'm married to "Mr Radio Shack", so I went from a remote little cabin, to a remote control house!
I can actually lite our fireplace from the couch by remote control(that's the only way to light the darn thing!...that I know of...) I do still have my cute little chainsaw though!

I too want all of you out here to know how much I thank you. I would never have started this program without you. I read, and read, and read, till I was convinced that this was what I had been looking for. Support, Direction, Medicine, Council, and all this without a face. Faces are why I could never go to AA. I have always been a closet drinker. The only person who knew I had a problem was my husband, but now I have told all of you, and it feels good. I am now in day 3 of abs, and MYO thanks to all of you. I only hope I can be of as much help to someone else as you have been to me. Hugs, Eliziby

Eliziby, Congratulations on 3 days! That's great! Those first few can be sooo hard. And welcome aboard, I've read some of your posts, glad you found us.
You sound like such a caring person, I hope I haven't offended you w/ some of my "offbeat humored" comments here & there... I tend to be a bit crude sometimes.
Take Care, Hugs, Judie

Congrats Elizby on 3 days! I'm on day 3 also. YEAH! It feels good, but in a weird way.
