Hi,
This is my first post. I discovered MYO last summer, bought all the supps, the CDs and the Topa...didn't stick to it. Continued to drink.

Tried again a couple of months later, again only dabbled for a week or two, still drinking. Then, around Christmas I started reading the forums, really reading them. Getting to know the people and their problems, trials and tribulations. Joys and heartbreaks.

Something struck a chord. For the first time in 20 + years I felt I wasn't alone. I've had more AF days since then (that's to say SOME!) than I can remember. It's not easy, but knowing you are all going though it too and even being able to come here and read about it is such a relief after searching for so many years.

thank you so much
Pebbles.

Well, Paul B, that made me laugh and pop back in!

Paul B - first of all I have to say that over the past few weeks (or maybe even months!) I've been really amazed and inspired by your progress - you are awesome, pal!! I've been lurking around, reading every day but too uncomfortable to post again since the horrible time with "you know who" (no, not Voldemort!) when everyone got so upset - older members will know who and what I mean - I felt so bad about all the hurt that happened, I just snuck away - but kept up to date with you all. Many, many congrats on all the successes and the hard times so many of you have overcome. Anyway, never mind all that - Paul.... Peebles is a small town in the Scottish borders.... Pebbles was Bam Bam's sister in the Flintstones -:H But thanks for tempting me back again - and at the moment, I am "AF" and A OK. :thumbs: to everyone!

Hi,
Thanks for such quick replies. This site is so supportive. I've never seen anything like it.

I'm quite excited for the future now I hope I've found the missing link. I've wanted to gain some control for such a long time, but never known how. Just wanting too has never been enough. This site has some incredible advice, can't remember who said it, Pansy maybe, "White Knuckle through 5pm to 8pm" that's me right now...but now I know I can manage it. Just !

Paulb - It's Pebbles..not Peebles...even though I did live in Scotland for 3 years and love it there!

Hubby, brother and next door neighbour all have gone down the local - not little old me though - oh no, I am studying hard on my PC - har, har!! I am wasting time on here, more like - but...... I AM NOT DRINKING - WHOOPPEEE - and hey, ho, they will feel like "you know what" or even "you know who" in the morning, but I will be fresh as a proverbial daisy - so ya boo sucks to them and hurrah to us Toby!!!

Thanks for the welcome back Paul - why did I stay away so long?!!!

Absabloodylutely!!!! Its that the feeling when we wake up tomorrow morning with no headache/awful thirst/feeling of shame! You know what even if I feel like a glass of wine tomorrow evening with dinner with my hubby so what I don't care the biggest thing is me not drinking on my own which I have always done and preferred to be honest! Jees I can really see what the whole '1 day at a time' motto means now ...
Would love to clean your kitchen!!!!!
