Thanks Molly.

I also had a good 23 days AF before this 30, so mentally i'm feeling relaxed and quietly committed, and going in the direction i want to. Which is UP.

And you'll love it!

Thanks to everyone on this thread, and your kind, supportive words.

The G-force is back. Now, down to business. ;-)

Way to go Mr G :goodjob:

Good stuff. I'm a runner too. Running, or any sort of regular exercise is a great free mood lifter, and an essential part of many folks taking their lives back.

Running is so cool! You're right Mr G - essential part of taking one's life back. I'm loving it - 3x week, bright and early. Endorfins flying high - I think I've found the missing link

Hey, Guitarista, and congrats on 30 days...31 now is it?:goodjob: I didn't realize you were working on 30 days. I thought you were years sober just hanging out here with us Newbies, lol.

Hope you sleep well.

Thanks LG.

I recently had 2.5. yrs sobriety, and then last year did some 'experimenting.' Fortunately i didn't lose the plot and realised i prefer the 24/7 sober life. Much more fun and excitement.
I saw my drinking returning to its old ways, and could see the old gates of hell slowly opening, with the ball and chain, waiting for my return. I'm not a 'normal' drinker, and that's totally okay. Once i accepted this, i now choose not to drink, and my possibilities in this life again are limitless. The battle is over. I surrender, and accept my truth that i don't wish to exercise control over my booze intake once i start drinking, and that's totally okay. I'm not a rowdy drunk, but i do damage to ME, and this is no longer what i want, nor acceptable to ME.

What i have surrendered to, is my truth, my self, my potential, my real, true path, and the endless wonder of life.

Hope you're well there. Take care. G.

I am a rowdy drunk, who doesn't shut up.

I can never remember what I have said, and when I get filled in the following day, I get so embarrassed. I've done this for over 30 years now.

Time to stop - I'm on board.

Wow G. As so often with your posts, this is truly inspirational. Copying out to my doc of favourite inspiring quotes from MWO to read when I'm feeling stuck or negative.

So glad you're back and that you're here to help others get to where you are. On ya mate!
