Tell us a little bit about yourself..

I am 35 years old, live in the lake district, self-employed in a caring profession.
No spouse or children but have just entered into the early stages of what is my first 'open' relationship(anyone with any info on Polyamory feel free to PM me!!!!!!).
Was a classic 'binge drinker' until the binges turned into benders. Would drink 3 bottles of wine in an evening/6 litres cider per day once I'd started including some recreational drugs at various points. Tried everything to stop but took me 7 years to work out what I wanted. Now 100 days AF and I also do not consume anything that could be mind altering or psychoactive, even if it were to be prescribed by a physician.

I'm a joyful, playful, free spirit.

Many things define me. Regular family, childhood, college student, professional career, contraband smuggler, wife, caregiver, addictive traits, healthful persuits, triathlete, love of many things.

I just turned 37. I'm the father of a great soon to be 2 year old. I don't like my job and I am looking for a new one. I used to be a binge drinker. I've been diagnoised with Dysthymia and am currently on antidepressents. I still skateboard in empty pools or bowls in the skateparks. I love music particularly punk. I play guitar and bass. I like to draw and do stencil art. I have a lot of tattoos. I love laughing and being goofy. I have 93 days sober. Oh and I guess I'm single.

Hi everyone......its nice to meet you all

I'm 36 years old
Work in Management in the health industry
Divorced
Serious binge drinker which started to turn into nightly drinks
I enjoy travelling, being outdoors and right now I am learing to socialise without boozing. I will keep you posted on how that goes.

I'm 49, single female-never been married, no kids, and not dating anyone, and yup, I'm straight. Someone at MWO thought I was a gay man. Nope. I am in the automotive industry and own my own consulting company. I travel all over the world and love spending time with my mom, sisters, and 2 brothers (one has passed away). I am the youngest of the 5 kids and I have the best family and friends in the world.

I don't drink before work and when I'm traveling, I can stop at 1 drink or not drink at all. It's the weekends when I'm home alone that I'm vulnerable and I used to binge drink on one weekend day. I've been AF for a few weeks now.

I have made new friends here at MWO and speak to one of my friends on a regular basis. I love the people I've met here.

Rebirth-this is where I took a class in Leamington Spa-Smallpiece Enterprises. Lovely, lovely, building. It rained most of the time I was there (a week) but the sun came out one day and it was great!

I hear ya Rebirth. Life has been way to serious these past 93 days. I'm glad the goofy side of me is coming back out. I'm way more fun sober then I ever was drunk.

You'll get to 90 plus days to Rebirth just keep up the good work.

I too have to remind myself at times to take the stick out of my arse and lighten up a bit. Recovery is supposed be fun too!! It's not all doom and gloom.

Sk8,

I just saw that you are 91 days AF! Congratulations!
BTW, I spend loads of time in warehouse and manufacturing plants and I talk to the receiving people all the time. I can understand why your drinking may have gotten out of control. That can be either a very boring or very stressful job.

I'm 48, fit and healthy, divorced but reconciled with my Ex.
I've got two children; 26 and 24, and three grandchildren; 3, 2 and 5 months
I sort mail for a living now but I've done lots of other things, usually involving hard, physical work, which I enjoyed. I'm getting a bit tired now so I'd like my next job to involve a chair and a coffee maker.
I drank very heavily for at least twenty years and consider myself lucky to still be alive and relatively sane. I'm often over-emotional and sometimes the complete opposite. I don't have many friends, but that's OK; life's not a popularity contest, which is just as well or I'd be screwed.
I need fun and adventure and my impulsive nature gets me into trouble occasionally but I'm not too bothered about what 'better people' think about me.
I believe that life is what you make it...nobody can make you feel bad unless you let them.
I play guitar (poorly) and spend as much time as I can in the wild places.
I'm just a guy really...nothing special.
