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
