starting again

[aquamarine]

I am starting again to make an AF life. I am going to try to be on here everyday as it has really helped in the past. I really want this for my life, and I know I have to do it.Why is it so hard. I think I will truly just take one day at a time, really focus and not lose track of my goal when I start feeling good . Thats where I alway blow it- I lose that conviction, feeling of urgency and need to truly make this a solid permanent change for the rest of my life. Thanks for listening. Aquamarine

Hi, Aquamarine

I'm new here and I just "met" Persephone, who also is just getting started. Join us! Here is my post to her (and now to you, too):

We are both beginners (today is my day 5 after many aborted attempts - some as long as 10 or 12 days - beginning last summer) and like you, I realized that AA is not for me but a forum like this just might be! Perhaps in person some people are as honest and open and straightforward as they are here but I have my doubts... and I know for sure I would have a hard time speaking up. I also lurked and read here for awhile and then decided to just jump in and do it. Many posters suggest reading, of course, but also to post often. I think that is a difficult challenge but I'm realizing it is the best thing to do. I'm not much of one to talk about myself normally so it feels rather self-centered (and probably rather boring for others to read). But - I hate the thought of just disappearing from this forum because I failed and was embarrassed and did not want to admit it (hmmm... where did that NoSugar go????) and I also really do not want to have to post that I failed (although I will do so if I have to - promise!!). Anyway, wanting to post my success is very motivating for me. When I have been tempted, I have thought about typing here what I did. Just that little brake really helps me.

Anyway, I'm glad you are here and maybe we can travel this road together.

Everyone seems to be pretty far ahead of me in the Newbies Nest -- I will be thrilled to have some company!!
