Good morning all I want to post on the newbies nest but for some reason cant get onto that thread so doing it this way. So lovely to see all the great figures , new members and huge effort going on. So proud to have reached 70 days with my quit buddies Pav and Available, who have been an amazing support and inspiration to me . Along with all the other members wise words and encouragement.
For anybody just starting out I know that you read all the post and your dearest wish is that it was you posting after a good number of af days. I know I did I felt such a light weight posting in my early days but before I knew if i was in the bigger figures and it just feels so amazing . I would wax lyrical for a week on all the benefit of being sober, but to keep it short i will list a few :
Gained my self respect back
Gained respect from family and friends
Better mental health
I look years and feel years younger
No memory loss of what I have said and done
No living with a near constant hangover
No consuming vast quanaties of pain killers/sleeping tables to mask the hangover ( which never worked anyway)
Freedom to be me and like me
A huge sense of achievement for at long last being af !!
All in all if you are on the begining of this af journey do your very best and get the support you need to stick with it as the life you gain or regain the other side of al is just brilliant.
I will leave you with a quote I heard once not sure where it came from may be AA
" Try not drinking for a month and if you find you don't like it, you are welcome to have your misery back". Sooooooooooooooooooooooo very true I am never going back to that misery !!!!!.
MWO a brilliant place, brilliant people, brilliant advice/support, brilliant examples for long term afreere's , brilliant non judgement enviroment and the most brilliant of all people who understand !!!!. I blinking love this place !!:h:h:h:h:h:h
