Its very comforting to know I'm not alone in this.
Oooriogrrrl, I wish you luck too with your books, friends and especially your paintings! I would love to be able to paint but no doubt if I could, up to now it would have been with a glass of wine in one hand and a paintbrush in the other!
Anna, reading your words on 'the joy of recovery' felt like an invitation to a far better way of life.
Soberbrooke, thank you so much for showing me where I'm heading once I stay committed. Last night even though I was lonely, just me and tv, I told myself ' At least I'm not drinking' and that did help. I'm going to keep your affirmation of 'I can do this' in my mind and also another post I read about wanting to be sober more than wanting to drink. The 'God box' idea is cool and allowing the miracle to happen...wow!
God I actually feel more hopeful and excited about not drinking than I have in ages.
