Newbies Nest
Welcome Aclassicgirl, rebirth and Ozboy. Nice to have so many new "faces" in our lovely nest. Stick around a while and ask us anything. We all have an assortment of histories with alcohol and there is always someone who has an answer to a problem or query you may have. Making the decision to come to this site and to this thread in particular was one of my best decisions I have made. I have had so much support and friendship from everyone here. It really has made my journal away from my horrible alcoholic life alot easier. I hope you get what you need from us here.
Molly what did you do to deserve all that hassle? OMG.....I think you need to get back to work for a rest!
Hi Maz - nice to hear from you. Yes Perth has been really cold lately, around zero most mornings. But we have so little rain that the skies have been cloudless which makes it cold. We went to the Gold Coast for my husbands conference and we took the kids along so we could do all the theme parks. Had a great time. Big learning journey for me as I decided to have a few drinks. I had built up alot of myths in my head about how good AL was and how much I was missing it, so wanted to see if it was true. And I actually realised that AL has no appeal to me at all now. It was great to finally understand that I had been making myself believe that AL was what I wanted and missed, but to find out it isnt what I want, without doing too much damage, was great. So do feel alot more at peace now with my decision to be AF. Funny thing really to be happy I broke my nearly six month run of not drinking. Glad you're back, stick around. We'll help you.
Have had an evening of watching my dad and husband drink their way thru a few bottles of red. Not a pretty sight, but just another confirmation of why I choose not to drink. People talk such shite when they are drunk.
Time to grab my kindle and finish that damn book i have been reading for ages now. It is such a good book that I dont know why I dont make more time to read so I can enjoy it.
Night all.
