Hi MYO friends! I have not been on here in a while, so much has happened in my life the last few months. But, I have not had a drink since February 27, 2010. It has not been easy. I have been reading posts and to all the newbies, don't give up and be true to yourself. The hardest part is to not give in - but it's worth it. Your life will change in so many ways that are positive.
I wish I could say life will be easy after you stop drinking, but that is not always true. I will say that dealing with stressful situations is easier - without being hung over or in an alcoholic haze. Don't be hard on yourself when you realize you might be a somewhat different person once you stop drinking. I went thru some tough stages and once you realize you don't have to drink to have fun, deal with stress or relax, it's liberating.
Enough wisdom (not much, but it's what I have) and I know I can learn from all of you. I hope to catch up as I've missed everyone and look forward to keeping up with how everyone is doing!
