I don't miss it or anything about it really!
I drank primarily because I was profoundly depressed & needed something to numb the pain. I don't miss being depressed either, that's all in the history books now

Ain't it the truth, like I CARED about the perfect pairing. In my book the perfect pair was MY glass and that WINE!

I'm not a real long timer but I HATE going out with the group and everyone is getting drunk. I don't even think of booze unless everyone around me is drinking. The DH drinks a couple beers every night but that doesn't bother me in the least. And I'm not wanting to stay late anymore hanging out. According to everyone I am no fun and I went from life of the party to party poop.

Sometimes I just required a straw.

FlyAway - I can't say exactly that I miss drinking. I know I can't have it, so why miss it? Waiste of time! I am just mad at myself and my stupid flaw that don't allow me to drink in moderation. I am just not designed to do that. I am jealous at other people who can, but oh well!

Myluck, I learned early on not to pay attention to what was in other people's glasses ~ their business, not mine. That really took the pressure off

Hi,

So bummed that this thread is in the boondocks. It definitely inspired me to read before I reached that magical 100.

I still get wistful glances at alcohol, but I think it is nostalgia more than longing to drink. When I think about being drunk, or even buzzed, it doesn't hold any allure for me any more. I was in a very logy and sad mood the other week and I thought that a drink would at least make me feel better for a minute, but I didn't want to have a drink and I didn't want to feel buzzed. That is a BIG surprise for me as I thought alcohol would be necessary to unwind properly.

Today is day 300 for me. Really and truly the start of what I know will be a sober life. Very exciting.

Pav, it took some digging to find our little thread, what a shame. I hope it floats to the top on the new site.
I am so proud of you and AVa for your 300 days. I want to see everyone make it, hut as you know, they dont. I had a great feeling about the both of you!
Yes, living without the PULL of AL is such a relief. It took some time to get here, but Im so glad it finally happened. We are so lucky to have you and Ava still posting in the nest, I believe that is a key to success! Keep up the great work! Love and admiration, Byrdie

Hey! I have been looking for this thread for ages.
I am feeling a little bit stupid to be honest. Why is this so complicated?
A little frustrated with technology these days, my bank website isn't working either. For god sake, so annoying.
Missing the support I find here, but I will be patient as I am certain things will go back to normal and be even better.

Lav - so the site will be down again next week? I didn't understand that, glad I am informed. Thanks!
Sooooo good I am feeling stable about my quit, I well imagine a lot of people have fallen off the wagon in the past few weeks. I could have, no doubt.
This site is an invaluable support to so many people, rather remarkable.
Good day guys!

thought I'd post here before the closing of the door for a week and say howdy and wish everyone a good and sober morning/day. See you all in a week??

Eloise, have you signed up for Nursies site to use temporarily? It is EASY to use! NS has set us up a NN roll call over there!

I have had a heck if a week with technology myself, seems like every upgrade I endure makes things worse!
See you all on the other side!!! Xxxoo, B

Sam, make sure to sign up over at the "back up" forum that Nursie created. You can find it here: http://steppingforward.proboards.com/

I've had an extremely busy last couple of weeks! Traveling for two weeks, home to tons of overnight company and a reunion, then over to Seattle today to move my granddaughter back to UW. It was a whirlwind trip over and back. Feels like this afternoon is the first time in two weeks I've had a chance to take a breath! Whew....

See you on the other side everyone!
