Yep, it's me, Juja. I sincerely apologize for abandoning you, but I needed a break from MWO without having to explain. I'll explain now: MWO became more of a burden than a joy.

With that being said, I'm not AF, but I'm in a better state than I was when I first started here. I'm having far more AF time than AL time. AL isn't worth it.

Someone said this is a cozy thread, and she's right, so maybe I'll be back.

Hang in there, everyone, and do your best. I'll do the same.

Juja :lipstick:

Hola Juja!

No explanations necessary. Great to see you.

Sobriety can take awhile to click. If you know you are moving forward, then that must send a positive message to yourself. Sounds like you know the game is up, moderating is a long gone option for you (and me ), and drinking is an absolute waste of your precious time left on this earth. Take care of yourself friend.

Wishing everyone a safe, sober, and magical week.

Hey Juja, and welcome back! and Irie and Libgirl (from another Libgirl) greetings

What's with libraries and alcohol? I was a librarian for 30 years!:H

Maybe we've read and learned too much, think too much, feel too much, and are introverts who ruminate--and drink! Just a thought. :h

It will be difficult for me to look at my local female librarians the same way after meeting you three. :H :h

Ah y'oul perv. MrG - betcha've always fantasized bout them:H:H

One of my students wrote this about me in a book: "I would like to f*** Miss (insert maiden name)." Quite a shocker. I guess I was hot then.:H No one looks twice at me anymore, unless they're over 75.:upset:

Guitarista said: as a focus on what i want, and not willpower, takes over.

I've only started reading this thread, but I thought this was a very wise - even transformative - statement.

I am finding, as well, that if the focus is not simply on the grit and challenge of 'will power,' but I allow consideration of the many factors that surround my drinking, it becomes a true learning process. And, I hope,a process of change.

There are nooooo negatives in being sober Limers are there? 2 months really is a huge 'breakout' for you isn't it? Like breaking the chains. Arm yourself for the little challenges ahead, but also enjoy the AF ride, and the treasures that are unfolding before you right now friend. You're a star! I bet you are SO proud. :goodjob: :h

I dunno AV. The ones around here are pretty wild! :H

Great to see you again. I wish for you things to be as you'd like them.

Quiet achiever here too Limers. No big fanfare or shouting in the streets, just doing what i have to do in my own way.

Wishing everyone a safe, sober, and happy weekend.
