Today I am sober and sorry

[matthen]

I really regret having been on a booze binge for 4 days. I hope to get back on the ball and stay dry much longer (forever , I pray) than my recent record of 9 days that I had going. The truth is that I really want alcohol out of my life forever. Thanks for the support and suggestions from all of you.

Gotta get this monster off my back!!!

Good to see you today matthen. You had us, well me feeling rather helpless yesterday! I'm so glad there were experienced MWO members on hand to guide you through the hell you were in!! How are you feeling now? Hope you are in a better place today, this AL thing is bad for us all, but I want to commend you for those fantastic 9 days AF!!!
Where I am now, I can't imagine getting anywhere near your total of AF days. So today you are sober, I hope you continue, you clearly can do it, do it for YOURSELF and you'll be doing it for me too,. Well done Matthens, hope to join you in your sobriety!!!
All the best, I'm thinking of youxxxxxxxx

Matt,
Some times you have to show your self, just what
it is that you want to change in your life. ya have to
kind of wallow in it, I know [!]

Don't beat yourself up, but be sure to remember the
negatives about the wallowing and use that memory
as a tool to put down the next AL testing.

Know you are spirit and stand free, brother, Sam

Matt, hun, I wanted to jump on yesterday and tell you to go back and read your own posts. But I kind of felt that might be a moot point yesterday. So today, I would like to offer that advise if I may.

Stay strong. It's a long hard road, but man, it's worth the trip. I promise!

We are here for you. Best of luck to you.

Love, Me

Glad you are back, Matthen -- sounds like you've made it back to the mindset you had before the funeral, which is very hard to do. So - be proud about that.

Don't be discouraged - keep remembering all the positive steps you have taken in April and start moving forward again.

I look forward to reading all of your postive, encouraging posts again - you were so helpful to so many newcomers this month and I know you will get back to that again. Now with even more wisdom and learning to share with everyone.

Welcome back, Matthen!

Matthen,

It's so good to hear from you again! Many of us were wondering about you and if you were ok. I've had some busy days lately, and haven't been able to check in since Wednesday. So, this morning, I've been reading your different threads, and I'm glad to see you back here... as well as being very proud of you for coming out of your latest battle with AL victorious! Just take slow and steady steps - one day at a time. We're all here for you, and I'm more than happy to help (especially considering that you were a great help to me in those first days of my AF journey).
As BHOG said, come to live chat and visit! It really helps me during those "witching hours." Plus, the company is fun! Also, if you haven't already, start taking the supplements again (I've found that the kudzu has really helped me with my cravings!). I look forward to hearing from you! I'm sending positive energy your way! :h

Thanks so much

For all the support and wishes. I was thinking of what happened to me to slip back into AL; one significant change is that I was not coming to MWO for awhile before I drank. I was out of town and did not have access to the computer. (Since then, I have found that almost every local library has access for free or minimal charge.) AND I walked into the guest room where I was staying and there was a big beautiful (ugly actually) bottle of wine and a 6 pack of beer. Sort of a trap, but one I will have to learn to confront.

So this morning the sun is out, it is 62 degrees and the air is fresh. As I was out walking the dog, I was so aware of the beauty around and consciously thought how wonderful it is to wake up sober. With thanks and lots of love to all.
