    What do you love about your AF Life? (Inspired by Cindi)

    I love the sober me. I am a nice person when I am sober.

    I am a sloppy, slurring stupid drunk.

    I will take the sober me over that any day!!

    Love,
    Cindi

        I love the fact that the bloat in my face and body is disappearing. Even though I still have a lot of weight I want to lose, I feel much more interested in looking my best and feeling my best. I'm still a rather casual person, but I care more now about doing a little something with my hair and a small amount of makeup where appropriate. I'm trying to look as good as I can in the clothes that fit me.

        I know all of this might sound "vain" but I think a little vanity for a woman is a good thing. I got to the point where I didn't care about anything but drinking - and that included looking and feeling my best.

        AF life is so good.

          I love waking up to a quiet, organized house in the morning. Making a cup of cappuccino and reading posts from my wonderful friends here...

          ..and of course waking up without a hangover is a special present to myself everyday!

            I love the fact that I went through airports last night and didn't feel the need to drink to pass the time. Learning new habits.

            Oh, and I didn't get kicked off the plane, either!! :H

            Love,

                  I love that my husband said last night, "You seem a lot happier the last few days."
                  I love that there is not a sherry bottle hidden in the suitcase in the closet.
                  I love not checking the sherry bottle in the kitchen cupboard in the morning to see how much I drank the night before when I wanted "just one more" but the wine was gone and I knew if I opened more wine it would be more than one.
                  I love not rushing home to put sherry from the hidden bottle into the one in the kitchen cupboard (when it was not "just one") before my husband gets home and makes a comment or mutters to himself.
                  I love being able to read what I have written about my insane behavior and laugh instead of cringing while I promise myself that I won't do it again.

                    A-M-E-N!! The fact that we CAN let down our hair and share our war stories without judgement, and with some laughs some of the time is wonderful, and surely helps me try to beat the beast!

                      "looking in the mirror and being calmly happy with who I am."

                      Det - That is pretty much it for me too....and that self confidence goes a long way....I have been much more able to go out and do social things, have made some new friends, and feel like I have something to offer.....Wow, what a change.

                        What is it with looking in the mirror? Seems to be a very common theme. Before I found MWO I just couldnt look at myself in the mirror - and if I accidentally did I would just say "you complete loser". Now just over 2 months later I am thinking of donating some self esteem as I just have too much of the stuff. You know like they give blood. They could bottle it and give it to someone who needs it!
                        I love that I have so much self esteem enough for a small hospital.
                        When I look in the mirror now I dont say loser any more I say looking good girl looking good! I may not actually look any better but I certainly feel 20 years younger.
                        Or I may possibly have lost my mind.....

                          BH, like the BH (no longer) moniker - well done! And thanks for being an inspiration!

                            I love BH (no longer) too!! We need to get you a good avatar and put that (no longer) in your title right below your screen name!!!

                            I love being able to have whatever emotions I'm having, and know they are just real. I no longer wonder whether I'm feeling a certain way becuase it's AL induced. Now I can just blame menopause with a very clear conscience!! :lol:

                              I love that I'm not sneaking drinks at a party when I think nobody's looking.
                              I love that I'm not obssessed about when I can pour my next drink.

                                I love the fact that I do not have to buy/take painkillers all the time due to the hangovers. In fact now that I think about it I am surprised I didnt have withdrawal from panadol!
