I tried that. It only edited the "title" of the thread as it shows in my very first post...but not on the title as it shows on the forums.

This makes me LOL! hahahaha. I never read that thread, but your mention of it made me die laughing.

I have been able to really enjoy my accomplishments since becoming AF. I have lots of interests and commitments and now I can actually keep them! I don't run around trying to clean up after myself as much. My house is still messy but I get up every morning and make a long list of things to get done. There is rarely enough time, even being AF to get it all done.
I am an artist and enjoy my creative life. I am seeing old and new friends regularly. I am going to the gym every day and have lost a lot of weight on a sensible diet.
I am not bored. I am thinking of taking a dance class but don't know where I'd fit it in.It just sounds like so much fun. I do sudoku and come online once in awhile.
Let your imagination soar and ask yourself what you want to do and then follow your bliss. It takes a plan and commitment and it is well worth it. It is the reason I got sober. I feel I wasted enough time, now it is time to "drink life to the lees" and enjoy every AF drop.

Sunny, this is SO awesome! I am so happy for you! :h It is so exciting to know that a REAL, fulfilling life is within my reach. I appreciate your comments so much. And major congrats on your weight loss! I've lost @5 lb since starting Bac. Hope to lose a few more...

Update: I bought a bottle of wine tonight after much thought as to whether I could go without it. In retrospect, I could definitely have gone without it. I've been on my first glass for over an hour and it tastes gross, almost poisonous. I should add that the very smell of red wine was always a huge trigger for me. That smell was absolutely intoxicating to me, and it used to throw me into paroxysms of uncontrollable craving. Right now, the smell of the wine is seriously turning me off. I almost want to toss the rest of the bottle.

Tomorrow night, barring some crazy stress, I will try to go AF for the first time in about 9 months. I'm so close to the switch, I can smell it (literally)!

Fletch (and I have to add that I LOVE that movie)--I do feel pretty damn fine at this dosage. I feel on top of the world! (Or the mountain of which you speak.)

I've often compared sobriety during AL abuse to being at the top of a hill with an enormous boulder to hold onto. If the boulder moves just slightly (small relapse), I can get it back up. But once it starts rolling, there is nothing I can do to make it stop going down. I have absolutely no control over it. It's a horrible, HORRIBLE struggle. (And the struggle just to keep it on top of the mountain is immense. The hardest thing ever.) The only thing I've got to fix it right now is the Bac. And that seems to be working quite well.

I know what you mean, SS. I've gotten there a couple of times, once earlier this year I went four days, which was a record except for the other four days I went AF a couple of years ago on Topa. Each time I regressed because I felt I was missing the "fun" and based on my wild success (!), felt sure I could stop at a beer or two. But each time, just like they say you do, I came back with a roar and made up for lost time.

Are you finding you have alot more time on your hands now?
