    On becoming joyfully AF

    Start of week two of my intensive yoga training. Am so much more aware of my posture, my breath, my choice of words, my thoughts. So grateful for the opportunity to learn new things and begin to deepen my yoga practice. Oh yeah, joyfully AF as well.

      Free, you continue to be an inspiration to me. Very cool about the yoga practice and all that it's bringing to your life.

        Thank you, SKL. You are the inspiration -- you are doing so well racking up consecutive AF days.

        This is a 4 week yoga training program. I consider it my version of a complete body, mind, spiritual cleansing. No desire for AL and I don't think about not drinking because my mind just doesn't go there, period. Now, I just need to gear my mind up to do my consulting job in the evenings

        Shanti.

          Quick note to update my thread. Finished my 200 hour yoga teacher training. Still doing my consulting gig but took some time off to work on me. Will be retiring in a couple of months and thought I might be a volunteer yoga instructor in my community. Dashing this off, as I am off to my nearby yoga studio for a class. Keep breathing!

            In yoga philosophy, 108 is a special number. Just realized 108 days from now will be July 18, 2014, which has special meaning for me. So, to honor my life, I commit to being AF for the next 108 days. Will post my progress as I can.

              Wow, thanks so much for posting this, Free- very interesting to read/learn about the meaning of 108, I'd never come across this before. Very interesting and also very inspiring to read about your journey. Fantastic about your upcoming retirement, teaching yoga, and 108 sober days.

                Thanks, SBL, for your encouragement. You are really rocking this AF lifestyle. As I have posted here in January, I just couldn't seem to wrap my head around "for good." But the intensive yoga really got me thinking about treating my body like the wonderful vessel it is, and not poisoning it in any way.

                Lots of stress with the consulting gig, but I am breathing through it all

                  Hi FAL, you sound great lately! I have stuck with the meditation. It is amazing how hungry our true selves are for the holistic practices that you are engaged in. I'm very happy for you!

                      Dear Pinecone, thanks for checking in with me. I love the way I feel after meditation and even just deep breathing time. It's been a long time coming, this sense of calm I am experiencing.

                      Poppy62 -- what a proud day for you. Four months is huge. You sound joyfully AF!

                        Feeling mighty joyful to be able to go to the VIP lounge, eat my dinner at the bar because all tables were occupied, and ask for my seltzer water and lime with no desire for wine. Life is good.

                              Been a rough couple of days at this consulting gig and I don't see it letting up before the weekend. Wine's siren song has been calling but like Odysseus, I'm chaining myself to the MWO mast so as to avoid any temptation. Also eating, exercising, meditating, and invoking my 108 mantra of "I don't want to drink."

                              Great to have a plan, especially when you know you have stormy waters ahead

                                Free, I know that in the past you took AB for when things get rough - are you still doing so?
                                14 October 2013 was the first day of the best days of my life!
