My last message to you guys was about my feelings of loneliness and isolation since we've moved so far from home. I wanted to thank everyone for your support and give you an update...

I've found two really great part time jobs that work well in my schedule, so I'm feeling tons more optimistic. Through it all, I never once thought about drinking again. I'm going on six years now, but we all know how alcohol can call to you when you're low. I think that I've finally learned that there is nothing so bad in your life that can't be made 100% worse by drinking over it!

To you newcomers, I wish I could magically show you your future without alcohol, but since I can't, I can only practically promise you that it will be far, far happier, healthier and more peaceful. Just keep stringing those sober days together...you'll get there!

Really needed to hear this today. I'm not having the greatest day... it's a day like many before that preceded a relapse. But that was before. Today is today and I am aware that just because I did it before does not mean I have to do it again. Instead I can post here, call a friend, go to a meeting, journal, and so on. That's how I am stringing my days together. Thanks for the post longbeachone!

Yay! I remembers you! Great to hear, LB1! Yes, optimism is for sure to come and go in life, but that really have nothing to do with necessity to stay sober. That something I very much working on: Mood not matter! Moo not drinking. Period!
