Good morning to you all my wonderful, supportive friends and thank you for your kind words. Can this really me that you are writing about??
What a lovely thing to say Nel, thank you my dear Undie friend.
Elegantly wasted, thank you too and remember 8 months isn’t so far behind me in the grand scale of life, so let’s keep it going.
You too Snwflower, I’m so grateful for your post.
Heath, I am very grateful to have you as my friend and you’re on the same side of the water as me! Yay, just down the motorway.
Aww thank you WWG and I think 55 days is a massive achievement, sometimes I wonder how you put up with my with all the ear-ache and nagging I give you, you’ve helped keep me strong.
Samwich and thank you too.
Thank you Least, so very much.
God Steve, you actually brought tears to my eyes! There have been times on our journey when you have held me up too and I thank you for that.xxx
Thank you Hevyn, I’m just so grateful that I found you all.
Thanks Dee and thanks for your ongoing support and wise words. You always just know the right things to say.
Thank you Oll, you’re my gardening buddy! Thanks for all your support.
Thank you Stairs for always understanding and congratulations also on your 9 months, my fellow August class mate.
EVERYBODY, MY AUGUST CLASS MATE, THE LOVELY , INTELLIGENT, WISE AND FUNNY STAIRS, HAS 9 MONTHS TODAY.
Thank you Deeker and thanks for your brilliant 24 hr thread, it’s the best!
And you too Optivotal, many thanks for your support.

I’m still a bit overwhelmed by all this but you’ve all really made my Monday something special. I’m so happy to be sharing my journey with you all and I would never have made it this far without you, my virtual family.
There have been a lot of changes over the last 9 months and it has by no means been easy, there’s been good days, bad days and very bad days, but no pain, no gain and believe me the pain is worth it, I never, ever thought I would get this far and I truly believe now, thanks to the inspiration I have found here on S.R, that I, too, can do this. I will do this.
For me the best things is that at last I am honest with myself, it’s like a weight has been lifted from my shoulders. I’ve finally accepted that yes, I’m an alcoholic, I can’t drink, simple as! Just the way I wake up in a morning without that dreadful guilty feeling in my stomach and not panicking about trying to remember if I’ve disposed of all my empty wine bottles, trying to go over the previous days actions in my head, makes it all worthwhile.
I love being sober and I’m even beginning to love me, I have my dignity back and I’ve also found the sense of humour that I’d lost somewhere along the way.
Thank you all from the bottom of my heart, for my life, for everything.
