Checking in.
Had a blast at beach w kids last week. Life is so different. I found a way to live. I'm glad it wasn't too late for me. It bothers me when I see denial and selfishness in people, killing them. That hurts to see that so I try to help whoever I can. Schools out so I miss meetings and I DONT like that, however, I spend all my time with my kids, doing stuff. Not wasting another second.
I hope everyone's doing ok

Great going JL!
It was 11 months yesterday. The wobble I had a few monhs ago has well and truly passed. I got to the point of buying alcohol and bringing it home, Then I remembered what I had read on here many times, that only I can pour it out and take that first sip. I couldn't do it or more likely I didn't want to do it. Either way it was too close for comfort. i posted on here just after and I was soon brought to my senses. I should have posted long before I got to that point. Anyone reading this who has a wobble, or even senses one coming, fight it, fight it with everything you've got. Fight it like your life depends on it. And start by posting here,
I quit caffeine a few weeks ago. I was drinking a dozen or more cups a day and it was affecting my sleep and my mood. The headaches have been pretty bad but it's a breeze compared to the alcohol. So that's it, I'm free of all addictive drugs. Nicotine went nearly two years ago. For 25 years I was hammering all three, and some.
I owe a great deal to this forum and the wonderful people who post here. With all the bad news in the press about poverty, wars, terrorist attacks and global warming it's easy to think the world has become a dark place. And yes it is in places, very dark. But if you look closely it's often in these same places that you find the very best of people, coming together to support each other. People giving their time selflessly to help others. SR is such a place.
