    July 23, 2007-30 days AF and what can happen

    First day of year four since I found MWO and began to change my life. On July 23, 2007 I found this site during a time when I truly needed it. I just wanted to post this thread for anyone who might be contemplating a 30 day AF goal and lend my voice to tell you yes you can do it. And, yes it very well may change the direction of your life. I know it has mine.

    I wont rehash what so many here already know nor do I need to tell anybody the benefits of long term sobriety--we all know that. I just wanted to offer these words especially to those who might be starting out. I was truly terrified by the prospect of 30 days AF 3 years ago and from the perspective of now, I am not sure why. But the 30 days can lead to more and the more can become years...let it happen it is worth it.

    So as I begin year 4 AF I am better for having found MWO and grateful for the friends I made here when I really needed it. And, especially for the posts of others who gave me motivation. I always like the analogy of the trail. Some of us are further along than others, but we are on all the same trail. I follow the example of others I met here and I hope I can be of hope to someone who is considering taking that first step. Join in!

    See you on the trail,

    July

    Congratulations on 3 years AF, July!!!!! I too was so intimidated by the idea of 30 days when I came, I never thought in a million years I could do it. Thanks so much for sharing your success, and reminding us all that it starts with one, two, three, and then on to 30 and beyond. It's so important to see longer term folks such as yourself, even just dropping in. It brightened my day - so thanks! Have a wonderful day! :h
