    I guess I can post here now

    Hi Abstineiners (hope I spelt that right)

    I have never started a thread here before because I thought you probably needed to have some long term AF time first. Well I am about as determined as I have ever been to no longer include AL in my life.

    I am trying to be courageous enough and stop thinking "if only I could stop forever". Well nothing is stopping me. I WILL, I CAN. Many here have and there lives are so much better, clearer. AL has served no good in my life.

    No moderation, no regrets, no more ALCOHOL. There are no benefits and I am aware of that now (took me a lot of years and experiementation to realize it's over).

    So I will be lurking and throwing out the odd post in Monthly AB's.

      Meech - Great to see you here! Jump in to any of the regular monthly ab threads, the natives are fairly friendly

      There was great freeedom and euphoria for me when I finally admitted to myself that it had to be "forever" a huge weight was lifted from my shoulders. Although it was like learning to walk all over again, the joy of standing and taking these first steps was incredible and to find I could function without AL was liberating and enlightening!

        Welcome to this part of the forum! Glad to have you here and jump in whenever you feel like it . This is the best section for me on MWO in my opinion!
        Whatever you invest in the circle of LIFE is what comes back to you. Multiplied. What you give to people is what they eventually give back to you. Don't do the math. Just increase your LOVE.

        BE HAPPY...BE CONNECTED...BE HEALTHY!         :h

            Way to go Meech, everything in your post sounds GREAT.

            Glad you made the decision to rid yourself, and your life of the evils of AL. I can hear the conviction in the tone of your post. This is a great tool to assist you. No one judges, we have all been there, done that, and sometimes we throw in a little ha ha.

            Try setting some short term goals, every time you attain one, you feel just a little bit better, and stronger and AL will be exiting your life.

            Heeeeeere's yer star for stepping up and posting!!!!

              Meech! :yougo::yougo: AWESOME to see you here with your new AF determination. It took quite a bit of pain for me to give up the last little *something* in my head that wanted to hold out hope of moderation. The AF thing got a whole lot easier once I was 100% (instead of 99.9%) committed to it.

                Thanks for all the supporting posts.

                Doggy Girl - It's so true. I have had 90%...95% even 99% commitment in the past but that's not enough to stick to it. I actually feel like every part of me (my soul, my hopes, my mind, my spirit) is 100% this time. I must never go back. It's not an option. I've been AF for a bunch of days now and I never want to have poison in me. I really look at AL like the devil from every angle...not just one side.

                Nelz - thanks for the star!

                Papmom - I am ready for my journey in sobriety and a LIFE THAT'S ALIVE and I'm so glad that I'm going to be able to share it with you too my great friend here at MWO! :l

                P.S. - Errrrr uhhhh question as I lack some expertise in this area.....How do I get a thingy at the bottom of my posts/threads. You know where people have an inspirational quote, or # of days sober/when they quit AL etc..... Thought I would add a bit to my profile. Thanks

                I am so thankful for this website and all of you here. I would not be where I am today without you. I have learned so much about myself and my issues with AL. :thanks:

                          Thanks for the welcome Lavande, Determinator and Sunshine (Canadian girls yep- I think you are middle east where I grew up Ont, now I am in BC).

                          Nelz - Thanks for the tech help!! I think sometimes I'm too lazy to figure it out on my own. And it's quicker to ask an MWO friend instead!

                          Another Glorious hungover-free day! Gotta love them.

                          Have a great sober day!
