Good day abbers and thank you Loppy for getting us started today with more good food for thought. Yesterdays thread was awesome in the "thought provoking" department and I didn't have a chance to spend enough time with it. So I will be going back to it after this post!

Loppy I am so happy for you - it's like you are at a point in this growth process where you are a butterfly emerging from your cocoon (sp). Thank you for sharing your journey as you give so much hope and inspiration.

Brigid, thank you for your words of wisdom. Your post is very timely for me as I am at a point where I am seeking more personal growth. Not Drinking is a HUGE accomplishment of course - that required my 100% focus and still does require a ton of focus. But I find myself asking "what's next?" There is so much out there I've yet to explore or experience in this big ol' world I feel a bit lost with it. It seems you are at a "place" with that notion that I'm trying to get to. Was there a point where you felt like I've described - where Not Drinking was important, yet not the whole bag of chips? If so, what steps did you take to move forward? Congratulations on your 3 years of sobriety!!

Loppy I forgot to mention something else - thank you for the reminder that while dealing with aging parent issues is one side of the coin, there is another side which is losing them before their time. A great reminder to keep things in perspective, whine less and appreciate more. I needed that.

Have a great AFHF day everyone!
