    threading back

    I had a look aback at my own threads today and found it really usufull reading how bad I felt when I had fallen of the mods wagon, my experiences with the meds and a few other things that have gone on along my way to realising that af is the only way for me. Just wanted to post this as I found it really usefully to remind myself what the drinking days were like don't ever want to become complacient and slip back to thinking I will be alright if i have a drink and then end up in the drunken pit of despair and thought others might find reading their own threads usefull.

    I completely understand your words D~Doo.

    I have awoke , sober in the moment and aghast that I posted while saturated.
    Oh, the embarassment at the posts.
    Have wanted to eliminate them somehow, but, as you so wisely speak, they may be a help and a teaching aid down the road.

    I appreciate this thread, ramble on, you just made a difference.

    Thanks ever so much.

      I do think that having the join date and all past posts or threads is very useful. I have a reference point of how I am now compared to how I was when joining. Sometimes its been a rollercoaster but all in all I am doing so much better than when joining.

            This is a horrid disease.
            I have just a few years, hit me in my late 40's like a demon. I was drinking in excess prior at times, but, never the withdrawls/cravings at 6Am and all the behavior associated. I did not recognize myself. Woke up in strange places, legal problems , friends for years disappeared.

            I am unrecognizable when saturated.

            When I string some days together, I feel like I am being chizzled out of a marble prison.

            I surface. I then, feel like I was dropped into a strange land. This will take time for myself for I have been making such efforts, then, fall flat on my face.

            I am working on putting the focus on who I am before, who I was in appearance and behavior. It may pull me back to life, back to reality..

            Stay inspired.

            You have inspired me.

              how true are your words 2be when I am drunk I am not me atall I become the drink and its ugly, I too have lost friends partners legal problems and it never stopped me untill recently . One of the best things for me being sober these [ast few months is that I am now me not what the drink turn s me into . If i get anygry sad or cross with somebody its me thats doing it not the drink. For the past weeks I have lived life away from that cloud of fear self loathing and a million other words that all my dear friends on here could add.

              So you fall on your face I have fallen so many times I should be unrecognisable butt I never gave up giving up and its my time now and I am doing great. I can drink what I like but I choose not too . Bing sober does not take away lifes stresses anf strains but it makes it so much easier to deal with them . Good luck to you and thank you for replying to my thread all the support I have got from here makes what I am doing possible

              DD x Ps being sobe does not seem to be improving my dodgy typing and spelling though !!
