Not a lot of action here, but just popping in to say hello. Glad to be 100+days. I still want AL sometimes, but it is getting easier to walk past someone else's drink and have no feeling or desire. It's my desire to get away from my stress that keeps me craving at times. And it would be pretty easy to just say - well, ok, you deserve it. But I know better, and I have you all here to call BS on that statement. Thanks!

Kensho, welcome! The longer you go AF, the more you will recognize the freedom that comes to us by choosing not to drink. Google "stress relief" and see how many ideas you find including exercise and meditation.My life is better without alcohol, since 9/1/12.

So glad you're here!!Originally posted by KENSHO View PostHowdy Ho! (hee-hee, blush). Fun to drop in now that I can be official! It's pretty funny - the grab that alcohol has. The pull to moderate, the "I'll try it one last time" BS. There's absolutely NO CONTEST comparing then and now. Happy to join the real party!Liberated 5/11/2013Comment
