Update

I haven't posted in here for a vey long time but I thought it might be time to update ... It was back in May that I first sought (and received ) help in this forum. I was very lost and vey upset with what I was becoming...well now I am "celebrating" (the right word?) my 24th week sober...that is over 150 days sober and I feel MARVELOUS!!! Every area of my life is better...work, home, my looks...even my sense of smell is better!! The world is a great place to be...I enjoy being me! Don't get me wrong, there have been times of stress and upset but not once have I turned to drink! I am stronger, more positive, more able to face challenges. What I was hiding with drink was making everything worse. There is NOTHING to be gained by pouring poison straight into your body...the thought makes me feel sick to think of it
Thank you to all those who gave me kind words and support those first few days...without you I wouldn't have come this far

Wouldn't it also be inspiring to read someone like Rufufs write us how they bought a bottle, poured a glass, and then dumped it all out... just for the power.

Or sat at a bar with a glass full for a good long time, and then dumped it out.. exercising.

Or maybe threw money out the window. . .

hehe

Commendable Rufus,

Seeing your life was bad and getting worse because of poison booze.

That you DON'T NEED, and sure DON'T WANT!


Free and clear!
