Talking I'm Back :)

Hey

I was a previous member of this forum and my previous username was Maggot4Life but I cannot remember the password or access the email to recover it. So I opened up a new account.

I don't even remember how long I was sober for last time round. But what I can say is that I am ready for this journey and more determined than ever.

I have been sober since 12 June 2014 so this is day 03 for me The first 3 days are always the hardest and I find that if I can get through the first 3 days without a drink then I am well on my way to recovery.

You guys were awesome to me last time round back in 2009 and I really appreciate all the support. Thanks

Let's do this together

I've hit 90 days today. I'm beginning to feel like an old timer lol

Isn't there a saying that tell us that "It's always better the second time around" ?

Good luck to you and see you on the flip-side.
(after that comment, I really feel like an old timer )

I too just had to chime in on the new handle..
I like Steve waaaaaaaaaay better than ...Maggot.
Memory loss?...your brain probably blocked out the path to that name trauma on purpose : )

Hey Steve
I'm a bit of a newbie, day 4 for me today. I'm not one for normally counting days but this time round I thought I'd give it a go & see if it makes any difference. Congrats to you for getting past the first 3 days, they are the worst. Jem

Start of Day 04 for me and I'm feeling better than ever. Just woke up and it's 1:10am, I would normally be black out drunk right now but instead I'm feeling fresh and ready for the day. Love this feeling
