I, like many others, used MWO as one of the tools to help me become alcohol free. I started coming here in 2006 or before... It took a very long time for me to finally understand that I just needed to STOP! I have been alcohol free since early April of 2008. I no longer wake up and check my phone to be sure I didn't call anyone. I don't have to wonder how I got that bruise. I am not sick and tired in the morning. My personal relationships have improved. Every aspect of my life is better. It is not perfect, by any means, but I am no longer unnecessarily damaging the my body, brain or the people I love. I want to encourage you and tell you that if you remain AF, your life can be amazing! Hugs, :l Best

Hello Dear Mauri
I have been so worried about you, so glad you are going to stay. I'm not posting much at the moment - lots of things going on and it's better I don't, but remember you are a valued and loved friend by all these wonderful, lovely people, so stay safe, be positive, be kind to yourself and always remember Love and Sunshine Kaza xx

Hi Mauri,
I've followed your thread and I'm glad you've decided to stay. I wanted to stop in and say "Hi" earlier, but I was having a bit of a rough patch myself. Let's do this together ok?
Hugs,
K9

So....

I am glad you stayed. I was reading through the posts and never saw "Well Wisher", but it may have been deleted. I know that many of times I have posted and I got 20 supportive responses....but, the ONE bad one....has made me leave many a day. I've gotten past that....and no, not every post will "make your day", but the other 20 will. Focus on those.

What I like about not drinking is that I just simply don't have to worry anymore. Worry that I might smell (which I did), I can actually drive my husband and I home on nights we go out.....or worry about those phone calls I make while in a near black out. Uggh.....then I would drink to get nervous anxiety off of me. There were endless times I drank over what I did the night before....just to forget it.

What drug do you take again and again to erase the bad side effects? Oh, you had bad side effects? I think you should go home and have more of the crap that made you feel like crap.....I feel like I have spent so much time in "Duh Land" that it needs to put in a dictionary...with my picture

Thanks K9 and sunflower, I had never heard from the lady who upset me before her post so I am just going to pretend I never read it LOL this site is amazing for support normally so not going to let one person put me off!

Hi Mauri - that's right forget that ever happened. I know how you feel. wish I had thicker skin.

How are you doing?


Sunflower - Wow I don't want to even think about how many times I used that same most backwards thinking ridiculous excuse...."I think I'll go home and have more of the crap that made me feel like crap all day. Then tomorrow I'll do it yet again" :yuk:

Here's to a great sober day and putting non-crap healthy drink/food choices into our bodies!
