If you are new to My Way Out and just looking around, or if you are just new to the Monthly Abstinence section of the forum, you might be wondering about all the threads titled "AF Daily." You might be wondering "What's that all about, and should I post there?"
If you have a goal to be alcohol free for the short term or the long term, then you are welcome to post on the AF Daily threads and get to know the longer term posters on that thread, and let us get to know you!
For me, the AF Daily thread is a good way to get the day going with a strong reminder that staying sober is my #1 priority each day. The AF Daily thread is my #1 place to check in. On a busy day, it might be the ONLY thread I look at. It's my place to touch base with my friends who share a common goal of sobriety - no matter where we are on the path - to make sure I've got my priorities right for the day.
Sometimes we talk about topics specifically related to sobriety. Sometimes we talk about gardening or pets or good books. The only thing we DON'T talk about is any plans to "drink moderately." Many of us simply cannot drink, ever, and don't need to entertain fantasies about drinking. That said, if you are planning to stay AF for some length of time and try moderation later, you are welcome to join us for your AF stint. We just don't talk much about moderate drinking since most of us failed miserably at that, and therefore have no good advice to offer.
I hope that others who post on the AF Daily threads will add their comments about what they get out of posting on the AF Daily thread!
So newcomers, come on in! AF Daily is a great way to get to know some folks with some solid sober time under their belts as well as committed folks just starting out. And everything in between. Get some inspiration and advice. Get sober.
Strength and hope to all,
DG
