BG: I too am going away next week...we'll leave Sat. early am. I'm going to try to on to this thread while I'm away.

Yes, it's great to out there & real. I can't even imagine what I looked like when I drank. For one thing, I was always hung over & trying to hide that fact.

Everyone has something they are dealing with as revealed by your neighbor. I'm sure you helped her a lot.

Witts: Good for you. Each sober day that passes is a stronger day. The urges & cravings reduce. That said: I try not to say: "I'm cured." That won't happen, as evidenced by my relapse of last summer. I can let no complacency creep in otherwise I'll drink. But, for today, I'm very happy to be a sober person. No hangover, no headache, nothing but purpose & clarity. Take care, Mary

Deter: A home group is very important. That's where you make the connections that are so necessary for recovery.

Witts: Yay! It gets easier every day. You'll learn a lot from being sober.

wow catch...I am hoping for nothing but good things to come your way, and you know the way for good things to come, you MUST be sober. you are on the right track! my home group has a bunch of guys from the local homeless shelter and there is a lot of sobriety in that group. some of them have come back from the dregs, down and out and wanting to die, to now being happy, joyous and free in their hearts and minds. you can do it too!!! lots of love your way.

take care all! i'm back from a road trip and it was great to see family and friends. no desire to drink, I lost 5 more lbs while on vacation, and I feel so good!

on a sad note, a friend of mine's 22 year old son died in a drunk driving accident while I was home. he was drunk and thrown from his vehicle...it was only him, and his car. there for the grace of whatever go I.


peace
