I can relate wip. I was a prisoner in my own home - just me and AL. Going through some minimal motions every day. Wake up, race to get a few things done so the drinking could begin. I have no idea why Mr. Doggy tolerated that. Well, yes I do. He wanted to "enjoy" his vice in peace too. Our life is monumentally better now that we are both truly living again!! I LOVE that part of my new AF life.

ETA: I noticed a couple of posts recently from small business owners - which me and Mr. Doggy are. Our business results are monumentally better as well now that we are both fully functional. WAY better, despite the economy. This is so good all the way around - AF is a positive force in every area of my life.

I feel a new sense of FREEDOM that I haven't felt in a long time. Hiding what you are doing and trying to pretend you are someone you are not is hard work. Right now, I feel it is harder than staying sober. I feel great and I would feel f*****g fantastic if I could quit the smokes. That is my quest for day 30. I love this thread because its focus is positive! kriger
