And Now For The Really Good Times
Hello folks - Dave from Wirral, Merseyside , UK.
I joined yesterday and look forward to getting involved.
40 years a drinker with one visit to rehab last year.
I started drinking again - Gin being my main crutch - but two days ago I had my final drink using the restriction of work and tapering to achieve such a position in which I could begin the true journey at last.
Im 55 and need to work for many more years - I have peripheral neuropathy which is still just manageable without medical care - but it has gotten to get scary - so - its time. Im reading books on why I should be giving up to double up on motivation and - to triple hit - Ive joined here.
Im going to read , listen , enjoy , contribute - I am so determined this time - I can offer empathy in abundance , of course , but Im hoping to let my positivity shine through and show you that we can do it - without preaching as , for you who know the power of alcohol , it can be easy to jump back into that swamp - smelly and bleak as it is.
I wish you all well and hope to speak with many of you on my journey.
Dave 🤠
