Hang in there guys. That's all I can say. It is too hard to keep quitting over and over again. Make this one last.

I don't want to sound brutal or anything, but there is no totally painless way to do this. The supps and the support and friendship here help so much. And the rewards in the end are more than worth the pain.

Welcome to life. It's a crazy wonderful place!!!!

Mags - I am ALWAYS drawn to your posts. You are a veteran now of living as a Non Drinker. Thank you for staying on this site to let those of us who have committed to a AF life - see those who are out there into the 'years' zone. I love you lady and think you are an amazing example. AF for life,

Mags, thank you. 3 years is amazing absolutely wonderful. Dealing with problems without hiding behind the booze is the real issue. I agree if others can do it then we all can do it.
Congrats

Great post, Mags.

You're right about having to learn to deal with pain. Drinking has only delayed feeling all of it. I am ashamed that I have not been a human being for a long time. Had chance for happiness and screwed it up.

Perhaps another day it will knock on my door - but this time, I'll be a whole person, instead of a shadow of one...

Congrats on your 3 yrs. Sobriety is hard, but great. Eventually, the pain will be worked out. It may take a long time (in my case), but at least I'm heading in a Positive direction for a change.

Heavenly, 1 1/2 years is a HUGE accomplishment.

Mags, thanks for sharing that. I'm so glad this thread got bumped up and I got to read it. It's a treasure. Well done.

Hi Mags, I'm glad it got bumped up as well because I haven't been on here much lately so I missed this. A huge congratulations on three years AF, that is some achievment. You're right about the changes, great big shout from the rooftops changes during the first year, then much more subtle under the surface ones, but changes nontheless. Keep it up.

Love,
Louise xx
