FMS,

I always find your posts filled with empathy and understanding. I think I remember several moths ago you were contemplating mods of some kind. Are you proud of the path you have chosen to remain AF? I certainly am proud of you.

Great Job FMS!!! 6 months.... How do you feel compared to 6 months ago? How do you think differently?

I'm happy for you. You must be proud of yourself, you should be. It's a pleasure to have you here. Thank You for all you've done for me..

Congratulations on 6mos. Finding My Self!!

July - I am just grateful! I feel so lucky...mods to me was always going to be 'just a glass or two'...but I just don't want it. You must know I am not truthfully totally AF...for a month or so I have had the occasional 'wine cordial'....an inch of wine topped right up with fizzy water...but I don't want any more. I don't like the feeling of going in the slightest bit 'woozy'...why do I have it then?...because (and this has taken me time to really think about) it puts me in a place of being someone who can 'drink' but chooses not to, rather than someone who can't/mustn't. We understand all the 'versions' here (I think!) but labels get banded around with those two choices by 'them that don't know'... I judge neither...just feel one of the luckiest people alive to have reached this place. I am deeply in awe of those who battle daily even after months and months...and for whom that one inch of wine would spell disaster.

I am in a place I dreamed of but never want to take for granted or lose focus on...never do I want to go back 'there'...where I frightened the **** out of myself and my loved ones...and to be frightened of that - I am sure - definite possibility is a fear I'll not mind too much...

But I guess I am just a little bit proud....pleased, grateful, contented and honoured anyway... If I am proud it makes the journey bigger than I would like and therefore also the initial problem...so I choose grateful in order to shrink the 'problem' down to an 'episode' and the memories down to manageable sizes! But thinking back 5-6 months...yes, it was hell. Hard b***** work! There were crises around drink early on... and crises to be handled sober and therefore differently. But thanks to MWO...I stuck it out...and am sooooh glad I did. That's why I wrote '6 months sober' on The Inn's Shoutout today... Sober and Happy!

I hope you understand, July...you've helped me soooo much... I'd just so hate to ever say anything misleading; this place is so precious and everyone's journey so important to me...

Sorry to ramble on..but honesty is really important...

....a bit more! Just seen your post, Chief...thanks too! Well, I feel so different...stronger, grounded, me, very OK (mostly!), more confident, aware, positive, open, honest - life without That Guilt is quite wonderful! And I think very differently...the main one at the moment is that I look after 'me' loads better...and that helps me be more genuine in looking out for others...(I hope!?!?) I've learnt just how badly things dan go wrong if I sweep things under the carpet in an effort to 'be nice' or 'it must be just me' or 'I deserve sh*t'...(big one that!) or "My needs aren't important". Now, it's worth listening to my inner voice and saying No and asking for support and getting to believe in myself and life....not doing that had truly awful consequences...no more!!

Thanks again - I am really very moved by this thread...it means the world to me.

FMS xx :l :l
