I woke up this morning feeling heaps better. I was thinking about yesterday and realized what choices we make in life and how they effect us. I could of easily went out and had drinks. I got to the point that I just had enough with the struggle and just wanted to give in. I decided not to go out ended up not feeling well and then realized that the smell of alcohol is made me ill anyway.
Then today I realized how I was fighting this. The days don't need to be a struggle, the days don't need to be about regret of the past or anything like that. I feel like I have been given a second chance in life and why not welcome it with open arms and I am going to see it as a friend.

I have realized so much since being sober, realizing friends were not really friends but I still hanged out with them anyway and then I started to miss a friendship that wasn't there just so I can hang out with people for the sake of it. I don't need that. I deserve better. I'm not going to think I am less then anyone anymore..

Hey maz, I wrote a reply, but then the database went wacko as I tried to post the reply, so it is now floating around over Hong Kong or the Virgin Islands, lol.

You're so right about all those so-called friends, they seem to evaporate when you change the game. Thanks for the uplifting thread, I needed it tonight.

Some friendships are not forever ...and that's ok too.

When I drank...I only had excessive drinkers for buddies.
In recovery....I find more in common with non drinkers.

Glad to know you are making ihealthy choices..

Sometimes accepting things and just going with the flow is the best we can do.

Hang in there!
