    Hey Overit!

    Thank you.

    It has happened to me that I have read posts on here actually that lead me to craving AL. That's scary. But most of the times it helps me deal with the actual issues.

    Anyone ever feel like that?

    The journey is the goal. As long as you're fighting the good fight and you're not giving up on giving up, you're winning. It's not about how often you get knocked down, it's about how often you get up again. Sobriety the goal for sure. But striving to get to that goal is what it's about. Not getting there. Because the journey never ends. The journey is the goal.

      Its rather a double-edge sword really. I have learned SO much and have now made some very good friends, (like you!) so I would never want to leave. Yes, I feel when I able to write out my feelings and therefore see where my head is at, its a very good thing.

      But Yes, there have been times where I felt that MWO has done me no good as far as MY problems with my drinking but it does all boil down to ME. I see the failures on here, but I also see all the success stories too which give me HOPE. So, its rather a confusing thing really. But you know, even when I fail, I still see some progress. My drinking this year is definately down from last year, thats for sure. We will get there, we just have to work out our issues. Gosh I sound confusing, I need more coffee!!! Oh, and like I said, I would much rather HAVE support, than No support! Having NO support is not a good thing!

      This just dawned on me. MWO definately helps us to understand ourselves and our PATTERNS better I think. I think its all about breaking the patterns.

        Goodmorning all,

        Praying for you johnnyh, day 4 here I come, I wish I could feel as good as you amber, I am exhausted and my body is killing me. I am sleeping like a rock though, but then I can hardly drag my butt out of bed. My hubby asked if I wanted him to buy some wine for me last night and I told him no. I am still feeling horrible about Sunday and blacking out over 3 drinks, but the more I think about it the more I am glad it happened, because it led me back here.

        Have a great one!

          Hey 2Sox.

          Thanks.

          Well done. It'll get better. Just keep going. Another couple of days and you'll be over the hill, you'll see

          Overit, This place is like magic. Yip, all the temptations with it at times but we'll face them in the real world too. no way of avoiding it completely, right?! We laugh, we cry, we suffer and rejoice together. Friendship. That's what it's all about for me.

            Absolutly Johnny!

            Its about Friendship and Support! We get excited when we see others succeed and I feel bad when someone falls. I could never blame MWO for making me drink, it is always going to boil down to Me and the way I handle my lifes issues.

            I also give credit to my MWO Friends for giving me lots of smiles, just when I need them!!! That means alot to me.

            Good Job Two Sox... Your getting there! Hope your body feels better today!

              Morning ODAT'ers - Another hot and muggy day coming in south Florida but already got a morning swim in and feeling ready to face the day.

              You guys talking about the world cup are making me pine for Cape Town... I've been there quite a few times and absolutely love it! Maybe if I can keep my head on straight I'll make it back someday.

              anon, twosox - Have you talked to a GP about anti-craving meds? Don't know if you're open to the idea but I'm attacking this thing with every tool that seems to work. For me, a low dose of Baclofen absolutely quashed both cravings and my GAD and made my resolve not to drink turn into a kind of default decision instead of a constantly conscious one, if that makes any sense. Anyway, if you stick around you'll hear about lots of different approaches that have worked for people. The key is just knowing that there is a "My Way" for you...

                hi all. as they say if you fall off the horse get right back up there and give it a kick on the ass. i too have found that sometimes coming on here is the time i think about drinking. having said that the benefit and support here far outways that for me, it has never actually turned me to drink and has many times stopped me from it. keep up the great work guys
                Today is the tomorrow i worried about yesterday and it turned out fine
                Keep passing the open windows

                    End of Day 4... It has proven the hardest so far, but manageable. I have poured somebody 2 whiskeys tonight, and I did not wrestle it out of their hands! Achievement?
                    AND: I have cooked 3 soups and a chicken casserole!!!! Keeping busy.... Soon all will be well! For ALL of us! Love to all! Johnny, we are ready for the concert tonight!!!!! BAFANA!!!!!

                            Hi everyone well i've bin on day 1 so many times so anyone dat fell off the wagon just put it behind you and keep trying you can learn from failure i hope i still can. Wud luv to be in Cape town for the atmosphere and the buzz of the world cup but it cud be a trigger for me 2 drink but may be one day i will get 2 visit SA and tour around avoiding the vineyard tours lol! Well its 5.30 pm here and a lovely sunny evening. It was dull earlier and we had some rain. I went to my first AA meeting at 1pm today and it was gud 2 be back and among among people with the same problem. I'm not big into AA but it does help as its tough to keep doing it alone. Well i made to day 15 and dis evning i won't drink. There is none in the house and i won't be buying any. Makes it easier that i live alone with out any one to temp me. Of coarse living alone can be tough in other ways but i have no choice rite now. Well have a gud day/evening and stay strong. xxxx Linda.

                            Ps Its gud to have the support of you all on myo forumn:h
