Letting go and starting again.

[lil.michelle]

Today is day one for me. I'm letting go of drink and moving on. Our 'relationship is over'. Drinking is not an option for me now or ever.
Today is a new day of a new biginning. I'm stopping being down, getting in sulks, upsetting myself by drinking (although very rare, still too common) and i'm going to enjoy life my sober life once again, i'm not missing a single day of my beautiful childrens life. My son has started to smile and gurgle at me now *lol* He's also on the verge of rolling over! I'm not missing this for ANYTHING and NOT a chance for a liquid.

Who's with me!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!! LETS LIVE LIFE SOBER!

Hi lil.michelle,
Although I'm over a year AF now I will commit to being sober today with you.
You say that your son has started to smile and roll over, this is a precious time indeed and passes all too quickly. I remember my son doing the same thing and in the blink of an eye he's now all grown up and on his way to a job interview this morning.

hi lil michelle.
I am with you too cause i also have a little boy and want to spend every waking minute with him. I am five weeks sober but I need to be reminded constantly why I quit in the first place.
Good luck!

Hi Lil Michelle,
I'll start my nicotine-free day one with you, ok? My relationship with it is finally over! It's taken a lot of stops and starts, but I'm just ready to be free from my last addiction. So lets do this, I KNOW we can!! :h

Im with you girl!!

I totally understand and relate to how your feeling. We wonder why we let the booze have control for so long. Its taken so much away from us, moments in time that can never be replaced. We have done so many stupid things we wish we could take away, and if your like me, I have done some things that are so horrendous and terrible I almost cannot bear to even remember it.

The temporary "high" is just a lie to us anyways. What, the pleasure last a whole 20 minutes if that, then the wanting more and more sets in. Thats the insanity of it all. There is nothing good about alcohol for people like us, and thats the reality of it all. The only way for us to truly be happy and to be free, is to just say goodbye to it.

So yep! Im with ya!
