    Geez! I'm actually doing this sober thing!

    Greeting's all,

    Don't know why, and seemingly for no apparent reason, i've just had this beautiful thought, or reflection.
    I'm actually living a sober life. I'm finally doing this. Feck! Best thing is, i'm really enjoying it, mostly. Still get a bit 'wobbly' now and then, with thought's of the old lifestyle, but i know this is normal, and it's okay. I'm actually happy, and wow, anything is possible. I'm still not saying i'll never drink again, (and definately not for me right now) but i'm not interested now, or in the near future, as i'm more interested in seeing what i can do in life. I am enjoying life so much without alcohol though, that i suspect i'll just keep going, and going. And no, i'm not intending to drink tomorrow, or in the near future, and as i say, probably never again, but cause there is that little door still open, i know i need to be vigilant, but i'm not worried. These little thought's will probably disappear completely in my 3rd af year, as the af benefit's really speak to my befuddled, still slightly in shock at being af mind. :H
    Having said that, i feel strong, relaxed, committed, and full of possibility, and absolutely loving where my life is taking me now.
    I gotta say, This is a very interesting journey!
    Stay positive folk's. Anything is possible, and love the one you're with!

    Thank's for allowing me to waffle on........

        Mr. G. I am so happy that you have recognized in yourself what so many of us clearly see. You exude joy and happiness in your correspondence with the other members of this community. Your fun loving nature is not lost on many. The dedication you exemplify toward your sobriety is evident. However it is your selfless caring about the sobriety of others that resonates the most. Thank you much for being you as I feel myself a better person for knowing you. Peace.

                  I know why and for reasons apparent I am having this beautiful thought~

                  Your reflection offers many- strength, comfort and a renewal of possiblities that await to fullfill.

                  Waffle away for your words are an anti-beffudlement antidote.

                  Appreciate you so.

                      ahhh yes... I know so well that feeling. ...it's like, for no apparent reason, having a feeling of ultimate gratitude wash over you. We experience the pure joy of being alive... being the person we were meant to be. A calmness comes over us, and although there may be chaotic events happening in our life at the moment, we are able to see the big picture & embrace the miracle, the precious gift that life really is.
                      This is the door that my sobriety has opened up for me.

                        Geez! I'm actually doing this sober thing!

                        Yep, and through this befuddlement, i now see the light!
                        Sober living 24/7 strips away the bulldust, and there we are, raw, naked, real. Overwhelming for me at first, but now, having put in some solid af time, the fog truly lift's, and magic is there at ya finger tip's. This sober lark can take a while to stick, so being patient and quietly chugging along at my own pace has been the way for me.

                        Oh, Hallelujah! he sing's!

                          Hi Guitarista
                          Thanks for sharing. I love the positive thoughts. It reminds me as well of how lucky and happy I am to be AF after so many wasted days, weeks, months, and years. Hallelujah...I am so grateful.
                          Allen Carr’s book changed everything for me. The easyway to control alcohol. Highly recommended

                              Rock on Guitarista,

                              The journey is difficult at first but so worth it. To live life on life's terms and to be fully present 24/7 is the best!
