    Back - Daisy45 could do with your support!

    Hi everybody. Been a long time. I checked in to let you know my dad died in June. Since then, been getting caught up in that old cycle and reconnecting with alcohol big time. same old, same old. So bored with it! Feel I am back, or nearly, where I was 3 years ago. At least when I was here I was more AF most of the time.
    I will talk more tomorrow, just wanted to put it out there that my intentions are AF and I want tomorrow to be day 1. Just had a bottle and a glass and poured a full bottle down the sink!
    Doesn't sound good when so many doing well, but good for me the way things were going.
    Looking forward to reconnecting and getting my life back!

    Hi Daisy, good to see you again! I'm very sorry for your loss.

    I'll disagree with one thing you posted about it not looking good when others are doing well. You ARE doing well because you're still getting better. It's a process, not an event, I know you know that. Good for you pouring that swill away, there's nothing there for us anymore but pain and suffering.

    Did you ever end up painting that set for a play? A friend of mine is a painter and I hang out in his studio sometime, it's a neat world that I know nothing about. I'm very glad you're back!

      Aw, Pinecone, what a welcome back. Yes, I did, and more after that. I must PM you. Been the toughest year, and drinkwise, especially since dad died.
      You gave me back my smile tonight. Thank you so much. Feel a little hope again.....

          Hi Daisy,
          You know I'm always happy to see you

          Good job dumping the wine. Now make a solemn vow to buy no more like I did. I was also sick & tired of disappointing myself. I was determined to make this quit my last - you can do it too

          Wishing you all the best!

            Hi Daisy, nice to meet you! Well done on pouring the wine down the sink, that was a really positive thing to do! I would have found that really difficult when I was drinking.

            Daisy, I don't want to talk about it too much in the public forum, but I lost a parent this year as well. My drinking got well out of control after that so I do understand.

              Hi Miley, Lav and Broken Halo. Thanks for the support. So long since I have been a part of MWO. Feels a bit like 'coming home'.
              So good to wake today that little bit fresher. As the drinking increased, of course everything else went downhill....looks, weight, motivation, productivity - at least I am in the lucky position of knowing it can and will get better; it is up to me to make it happen.

                Hi Daisy! Sounds like you and I are in the same place. I remember you from when I was last on here...good luck with your journey! So sorry about the loss of your father, may peace fill your heart with his memories.

                Hi Pinecone-good to see you here as well. I love what you said in the earlier part of this thread: it's a process, not an event. So true and a better way to look at it. Just like the one day at a time phrase, which also bears it's weight in gold! Good job everyone!
                Whatever you invest in the circle of LIFE is what comes back to you. Multiplied. What you give to people is what they eventually give back to you. Don't do the math. Just increase your LOVE.

                BE HAPPY...BE CONNECTED...BE HEALTHY!                 :h

                  Hey BlondeAFambition!! Nice to hear from you. Good to see so many 'friendly faces' that I remember!
                  Just being here right now and reading and posting is already helping with a shift in my thinking.....feel so much more positive than I did even an hour ago!

                    Daisy,

                    I remember you too - so glad to see you back and still trying. As Pinecone so aptly put it - this really is a process and I think if we truly want it, it will happen. It's a little different for all of us but there is hope. I think posting here and being with others who understand it critical. So sorry about your dad. Hang with us here and please always feel free to "vent" when you need to!

                    B - AFA, Hi! I remember you from way back. Glad to see you're here and posting again. Alcohol is such a trap and illusion. Just the fact that you're here tells me you guys KNOW that. Hope things are okay aside from the AL battle??

                    Best to you both!

                            Hi Daisy!

                            I'm so happy to see you back here posting. If we all had to wait until we had this alcohol thing under control before posting, there'd be no one here! This is a website for people trying to get sober and find their way. Where ever you are in the journey, you're more than welcome here. :l

                              Hi Daisy! We haven't met and I'm rather new here, but welcome back. I'm sorry for your loss, but so glad that you are ready to embrace an AF life again. I know how hard it is, but there is something in your tone that tells me you are ready.
                              Everything is going to be amazing
