    Fresh Start!!!!!

    OK!! I have read enough on here to realise we are all so desperate to get back to sober life. I was wondering whether to come back and so glad I did. I am embarrassed after all my bravado and AF vows but we all know, we are all the same, those before and after us......all from the same place and wanting the same thing. Those who are ahead are our hope. Day 1 tomorrow! Thank you all. You have helped me decide......I am here for you all too!

          I toyed with the idea of starting a thread, so I would have a solid connection on this board, but I think this thread will be a great home base! I'm excited!
          You had the power all along, my dear.

              Hello,
              I would like to be a part of this thread. I too have been around for awhile. I have promised myself many times that I would quit drinking only to find myself hungover the very next day. Over the past year I have I have had some great stretches of AF time, the longest being ten months. Over the last month the days in between drinks has become fewer and fewer and the "chugging" and racing through a drink because I'm already thinking about the next drink, those behaviors and thoughts are still there! I hate how depressed and insecure al makes me feel the day after!
              I'm ready to start over. This thread feels like a safe place.

                Wow! Just signed in and this is looking good! I can almost feel the positivity. That alone has reinforced my resolve for day 1! Thank you.

                  Woke up with a clear head after a good night's sleep ready to tackle the work week. What a far cry from yesterday morning! I am so aware that I have all the tools I need right now to make this my way if life forever. No need to put it off any longer! My promise to myself is that I will nurture sobriety just as I would a new born baby placed in my care. It will need my unwavering support for a while! So ready!
                  You had the power all along, my dear.

                    Hi Kailey; I hope to feel like that tomorrow morning. I can see what alcohol has done to me just by looking in the mirror - so want to get back to feeling good...
                    Need to watch how I think - I don't 'hope' to feel good in the morning, I 'will' feel good!
                    Ishybit, you have had some great AF time - my longest was 3 months. I want to do it properly - enough lessons learned from the past, so the only thing standing in my way would be me!

                              Hi all,

                              I really want to join this thread. I was going to start one with Nov 1 as The Day, and that may be the one for me. I plan to taper this week though tapering has not been very effective for me lately!

                              Talk about lack of confidence and self esteem, mine is in the toilet. And I have a ton of work to do, a kid coming home from college at Thanksgiving, another one who really needs me to be present...I feel like I just can't face any of it! And yet I know a few days AF, my outlook will be so different.

                              Looking forward to joining you all!

                              A

                                Ishy - Hi, love to have you on this team - I so get what you say about a safe place...I have to find the safe places too and this is so looking that way!
                                Hi to you as well "A" - I was thinking last night about an AF Nov - my last real run was a couple years ago and started just after Thanksgiving - lasted just over 60 days - nowhere close to 10 months!!!
                                Good morning Daisy, SoberSoul, Star & Kailey - hope you are all having a good day - I admit to have felt way better, but I do feel motivated and excited today - happy to be growing the daisy chain
