    Intoducing myself

    I have been an on and off drinker for years. I always relapse. However, I wish to become AF for good. I have been going onto chat for a few months.....and this seems like the healthier route to travel....I have just resisited posting consistently....which I will do now.

    I went to an AA meeting today...and my resovlve seems stronger now. Really, the tired of being sick and tired...resonates with me.

    I have had a few friends pass away from this thing....and its not pretty. I have to get away from it. Wish I could say I had some serious consequences from it, but I have not. I just want to get healthy, happy and sometimes joyous.

    Intoducing myself

    Hello YogaHeart, welcome.
    I am fairly newly AF. But this time my thinking is different. I am certain that I am not a person that would be able to moderate, so that it a very different perspective that is helping me to remain sober.
    I have not had serious physical consequences either - just many years of not being the best that I could be.
    Good to have you here. If the AA meetings that you attend really help, then make those one of your priorities.

    Best wishes
    Amelia

      I can relate

      The picture always was that I was doing great on the outside...not the inside. Very few got to see the inside. Yes, for now AA is needed....thanks for your post...it really means a lot.

                        Just wanted to join the welcome party Yogaheart! I too can relate to what you mean about seeming "together" on the outside but hurting on the inside. AL was killing me.

                        I too utilize both MWO and AA as my sobriety support system. Getting some longer term AF time under my belt has allowed so much healing and positive life change. You can do it too!!

                        Strength and hope,
