:hHiya

Sorry, had to use that title to get a bit of attention!!!

I have started again today and I guess I just really want to thank a few people here as I have now been here for 2 years, and everyone here has helped me, all of you, to finally and deeply come to the decision to not drink today...

Techie - you are very special and have helped me so much, with no judgement. I hang onto your every word..

Doggy girl, Mario and Jackie Clare - clarity, wisdom and so much empathetic, practical and real life advice... Again every word you guys write resonates with me ... again... sans any judgement. Molly, One2 many, Ringing Cedars, Determinator, Prop Chief , Ian, Tony, Rusty...For the spiritual and complete encouragement - I love the newbies nest and Lavande, Chill, Zen, Rust et al

And for the new guys - Ronnie, Unwasted Mauri, Shue, mmm and that guy begining with "S" who is very knowledgeable, and Greg - very inspiring. Also all the NZ guys and girls.

And lastly, something that has stuck in my mind are the posts from Guitarista - Punter Ones.. they are the ones that lately have made me think so deeply and they all are so inspiring. Thank you

I have been procrastinting so long.. its time now..... Had the best and last motivation, the saddest motivation yesterday. Dad is dying and I want to be sober when he dies..
Booked a ticket for the homeland in 6 weeks, want to be well, and if I am drinking, I cannot be well or a support

Thank you all for your cumulative effect, means SO much

Take Care
Patrice xx

well I'm 7 months down the line so if anyone wants to scream at me I can take it...... and I'm a computer addict so on here a lot more than I should be LOL....

I'm up for this mutual support thing, I wish I'd found this site earlier than 3 months in when I was bashing the walls and begging for some wine

take care all, day 1 is much better than day -1 (I think that's what I meant...)

Aww you a love, Patrice :l

So sorry to here about you father. In all honesty the death of my father knocked me sideways and not a day goes by when I don't miss him, but now I'm AF I can remember him with smiles and love.

So we've now got 6 weeks to get you bright eyed and healthy. Have a look back on your previous plan https://www.mywayout.org/community/f1...ady-52719.html and see if it needs a bit of tweaking.

You can do this Patrice. You know I have every faith in you.

patrice,

I'm glad that we've gotten your attention & wish you the best :l

I am sorry that your Dad is nearing the end of life, that is something we all have to face. Learning to deal with life's good & bad in a clean & sober manner is why we are all here.

Wishing you the best!

Patrice - I joined MWO around the same time you did and it has been the biggest Godsend to me in so many ways. Not just in keeping me sober but in times of crisis I have been able to vent and get the love and support I needed. I hope you will lean on us in this especially hard time for you and that you get through it AF which would be a wonderful testament to your Dad. Sending you much strength and love.

Hi Patrice--very sorry about your Dad. As Lav said, this is a difficult part of the circle of life. You are honouring yourself and him going to him sober. I too wish you strength, love and all the best. Many thanks for the honourable mention in your post as well.
