    TIME FOR THE TRUTH.....

    Hi to everyone that reads this. I am ready to be honest not only with myself but with you who i consider my second family.
    I have been on MWO for at least 6 months in which time i managed 1 month AF. But then i tried to moderate and slipped back in to the spiral (downward).
    I have been drinking anything from 1 to 2 bottles of wine every night. Not spending the time I could with my kids after school as would prefer to drink. I have laid awake in the middle of the night feeling like shit and said to myself "ok thats it, no more" so so many times. Then by 4pm next day i am drinking again.
    I have gained weight, i have no energy and i want my old life back. I want to be fit and healthy and take my boys fishing and bike riding. I have hit rock bottom and its time for THE CHANGE.
    So guess what??? YES i have started it!!!
    I am on day 5 completely AF! I have been walking hills everyday, and i am eating healthy, drinking loads of water and telling my brain to shut the hell up!
    Mind over matter i guess. I really want this and im going to try with all of my being to get it.
    I already have more energy and i am starting to sleep like a log!
    But it is early days and I guess im asking for your help and support in this journey as i know i have failed before.
    Anyone who wants to join me would be fantastic. I am going to carry on posting on this thread daily to hold myself accountable.
    I am going to be the best mum i can be and i WILL wear a bikini this summer!
    Thanks for listening to my honesty, it was overdue!
    Lots of love,
    Pink Angel xxoo:h

      TIME FOR THE TRUTH.....

      Welcome Angel. Love your positive attitude and all the changes you are working on. I too have been trying to be more healthy in diet and exercise. Just today I was trying to boost myself up to taking on more ..next week of course! I do walk approx a mile each morning, and am watching what I eat. Just need to be more healthy when it comes to the drink. I am hoping that MWO will also help me to be more accountable in this area. I have been posting daily on the ODAT Thread. Good luck, and I look forward to hearing more! Congratulations on your 5 days, I'm sure there are many more to come.

        Great stuff PA!

        There came a time for me where i just had to say to myself, after heap's of attempt's at modding, lot's of stop/start's, and going round in circles, enough is enough, G-man!
        Congratulation's on 5 day's af. You will not regret your decision. Never forget why you stopped, and what it felt like in the middle of the night in all that anguish. I remember it well. AF life get's better and better. There are NO negatives in being sober.

        Freedom. Clarity. Pride.

        Go for it Pink. Bravo!

          Hi Pink-glad to see you are back at it and enjoying your sober life! I am on day 5 as well-and feeling great and not pissed at myself everyday! We can both do this- you sound as fed up and determined as I. Hey, now you are spending your time doing quality things with your kids-bet that feels great!
          All the best,

                Well done PA! I truly believe that there does come a moment when it really is 'enough'! Sounds like you may have reached that moment. I had a problem with my teenage son today, no question I could not have dealt with it if I had been drinking, sober - we actually ended up having a super heart to heart about my previous drinking and whether it had affected him badly etc. The conversation ended in him telling me how proud he is of me.............priceless! Good on you girl - you WILL get in that bikini!!

                            What might have been is an abstraction
                            Remaining a perpetual possibility
                            Only in a world of speculation.

                              Hi Pink

                              Fantastic job on being 5 days AF. That is truly wonderful.
                              I completely related to your story. In fact could have written that myself. So get the 4pm start time. I have two children as well. I used the stresses of motherhood to condone my drinking. It makes me very very sad now so I am completely with you every step of the way.

                              Well done
