As a hard core drinker, with amnesia of my past I welcome and long for sobriety. Its early days for me, 14 to be exact, and i wonder what the hell happened to my life and how did i get to the age of 39 without memories of family past and present. i mourn the years lost, and worry about my future. my work colleagues urge me to drink and call me boring now, im no longer in the booze club. im excluded, but im grateful as i cant trust my animal brain in these early days and although i loathe my old friend, i know it will call to me and i will be challenged, but im determined this time, the animal does not control me, and it really helps to write thoughts of my new life adventure.

Congrats to you, newleaf! Your colleagues don't know it, but they are the boring ones. Such a pity...

STAY STRONG!

Welcome to SR newleaf

My work colleagues call me boring too, but I am pretty sure they weren't all drinking everyday til they were sick. I have to forgive them their misunderstanding in this situation because I never let them know how I drank. I think it takes people a while to accept the new sober us, just as it does for ourselves.

You're in the right place x

Wow, I just thought, "how lucky and I that I work in a treatment center?" No one there knocks me for not drinking, they DON'T want me too.

Welcome Newleaf, this site is great, and there is a lot of support here. Congrats on 14 days, I'm sure you're feeling a little better than 14 days ago.
