I'm up very early & thought I'd start this thread. I've been feeling much more in touch w/myself. I function so much better in the world when I'm not in a fog or recovering from one.
-I'm able to think through situations that used to upset me.
-I'm not trying to control other people.
-I'm trying to keep the focus on myself.
I can see that in order for me to have a quality life, I must continue to strive for abs. One drink is enough for me to be tipped over into a binge.
If you're struggling in any way, please don't give up. I've had some slips in my year here at MWO, but I always tried to come back afterwards, own up, & get right back into it. As Janice said once, "this isn't a contest...it's my life." I'm finally feeling in control of my life, & that feels good.
I could never, ever have gotten this far wo/MWO. I would have gotten worse & worse. Pre-MWO, I was drinking 3 - 4 large bottles of wine per week. I probably would gradually have gotten up to 1 per day & added a little vodka on top. My heart would be pounding all the time, & I'd feel obssessed & guilty.
That's no way to go through life.
Thanks everyone, Mary
