Secular Introductions
Hi there Huntwc, welcome aboard the secular fun ship
50 days? Way to go! I'm just a couple days ahead of you...feels pretty good to have actually come this far, doesn't it? I remember when I first started a week seemed impossible.
You can count on our support, but wisdom? More like crash test dummy reports I'm afraid

Seriously maybe that is why we as a group seem to be doing so well, We have a sense of humor about life? Thoughts?

Hi huntwc, welcome to the secular side. Glad to have you here.
True, there are some restrictions here at Secular Connections:
Yet there is plenty to post about at the same time:

Thanks for the warm welcome!!!! I am looking forward to getting to know you all better!!! LaFemme...thanks for noticing my doggies..my "boyz" are the best and help me to smile when I think I am about to lose it!!!!!
As far as "roadside assistance" I think I will pass on that one!! What stinks is there are NO other face to face groups in my area. I am now in a support group via IOP therapy and I LOVE it. It is a lot like this thread...we talk about the serious things but laugh a lot too. I think that helps to keep it "real". I won't be able to attend it long term tho...darn insurance!!
Hope you are all having a good sober day!! Linda

Hello- I have been following my own "program' for nearly a year now- i read a lot of scientific literature and work on healing and supporting my body & my mind. Although I am very spiritual in general, I find that staying sober has really boiled down to making the decision to quit drinking and sticking with it. I just don't do it anymore, and stick with it, and deal with the fact that it is my decision & my choice & ultimately my responsibility. and that's it.

Hi! I will probably post more in another thread once i make my official "year".... a week from today.... but feel free to mesage me with any questions if you like. When I quit drinking this past time,I also shortly thereafter went through an extremely painful breakup, followed by depression, but through that really just decided that I would never again screw things in my life up that much because of drinking. It's a very powerful choice, and i think you kind of know when you are there... in the past year i have been really paying attention to eating & sleeping habits, getting professional help when necessary, stress reducing activities(yoga, exercise, meditation, etc) have really helped me, as did coming up with what to say in social situations ahead of time. also positively reinforcing my decision and my choice and being confident that i can do this, and the consequences if i decide to stray. drinking is just not an option. hope that helps...
YAY!!!!! my new home...
Glad to be here and to know that there is a better way - FOR ME.
Can't wait to be sober enough to jump in and really enjoy posting. Just on day 1 right now!
