I just realized

...how many friends I have here! Y'all view my posts and offer great advice. You have become my strength and my wisdom. I will not drink today. I will let things that I have no control over go. I am slowly, but surely, realizing that I deserve to have a better life. One that I enjoy and can control. I am sorry if I am rambling, but I am trying very hard to stay here and not drink.

You do deserve a good life and it's hard to accept that sometimes.

But, believe it!

I agree flgirl - it is amazing to me that we all offer so much to one another here. I know I am blessed to have found this site.

Just stay here if that is what you need for right now. And YES, you do deserve a better life, and with the attitude you have right now, you are well on your way. :ghug

Ramble on, it's when we keep it all in that brews trouble.

Besides, a grateful addict doesn't use, express gratitude freely...!

Of course it will!! Cause your living your life to your potential, your not clouding your mind and soul with illusion and false sense of security! STAY STRONG, forever be 2 days behind me in sobriety! It's my challenge to you and myself!

I am having a very hard time, but will keep writing because I will not drink! If someone could talk to me that would be great!

You can do this! You can keep telling yourself "I"im going to stay sober", over and over. Come here or stay here for strength and encouragement. Someone will always be here. I have faith that you can make it without drinking.

big Ohio hugs for you tonite!
