Just wanted to drop in and say hi.

I am doing well and am enjoying life once again. No longer do I wake up hung over! No longer do I sleep until 11 am on weekends to kill the hangover. I am spending more time with my family and young kids and I really think it is making a difference in our relationships although there is still some work to be done that cant be accomplished in a years time. I am present in life and living life instead of stumbling through it in a haze... not only existing but living.

Thank you all for your kind support during my dark days.

Nice to hear

Thanks all! It really is night and day.

Im not red, im not bloated- although I have gained some lbs by my new addiction - gourmet cooking!!! I really just couldnt imagine this happening 2 years ago when I signed up for this site. My many falters finally lead to where I am now.

Congratulations, jryan. Sobriety and recovery truly rock in so many, many ways. My appreciation of the benefits of sobriety grows every day - it gets better and better.

Don't be a stranger here; so many members could benefit by the success story of a young man.

You know, I dont try and be a stranger. Its just that when things are going so well you kind of forget the rest. I dont know if that makes sense or not. But I will try to be better about popping in more often.

I just appreciate what I have no instead of getting upset about what I dont have. Appreciate the kind words.

jryan, kuddos to you for finding meaning and purpose in your life beyond alcohol! Those 11 am sleep-ins are no fun. I remember the feeling all too well. Congrats!!

I think if I didnt have kids I would sleep in that late, just once in a while! But I would have had to stay up really late the previous night watching movies or doing something fun.

Appreciate the encouragement.
