    Newbies Nest

    If it's any encouragement to you or anyone else, for the 7 years before I got here, I rarely managed to stay sober for even one day. Lots of good stuff here - the MWO book is a really good place to start. You can download it (I think for $12) on the MWO home page.

      Thanks--Again!

      Thanks everyone for the good vibes and encouragement. Day one done.

      SO, amazing work! Happy, happy for you.

      I'm tired but I might have to chime in on that football talk later! Actually, I'm a baseball fan. Well, baseball, football, college basketball. Now watching football and NOT drinking is going to be a real challenge. I need a bunch of AF days under my belt before opening kickoff gets here. And starting tomorrow, I'll probably become a gymnastics, track and field, weightlifting, wrestling, equestrian, ping-pong, swimming, hell, maybe even trampoline fan. Okay, maybe not trampoline! A wonderful latter part of the day to you all! Alley

          Sorry renewal, we can not all be from New England.lol. Did you Not feel my pain on Superbowl Sunday!!! Even us Patriots fans suffered.....ONCE.lol. Please try and separate the girl from the football, as I will not have this come between us.lol. I must get off to work, running late. I am so happy and excited as I am getting visitation with my doggie tomorrow; an overnight even. She lives with my ex in Mass. I have not seen her for months. Of course, I will be spoiling her rotten, and we will be walking, walking, and more walking. I hope she is up for it. Happy Friday All!!!

            Yay, I'm finally back on-line with no hassels!!
            Oh how I have missed MWO and especially this thread, but I am still AF for the month of August although I must say weekends just SUCK being AF at the moment. I have one of my "triggers" (my best friend aka ex-drinking buddy) coming around later for dinner so that will definetly be testing the will but I WILL NOT CRUMBLE... I would never in a million years have imagined how liberating it is to be free of AL, even for 9 days!
            Today is WOMANS DAY in South Africa so I just wanted to wish all the woman a wonderful AF WOMANS DAY today, do something special for yourself, even if it is just to sit in the garden quietly for 5 min!

            Love Dee

              ATTENTION TO MY NEWBIES.........I'VE TRIED TO KEEP THIS THREAD GOING, BUT WITH OTHER NEWBIE AND SIMILAR THREADS AROUND RECENTLY, IT'S BEEN DIFFICULT. I THINK I'M GONNA 'LAY LOW' FOR A WHILE WHILE I CONTINUE TO MODERATE. IN THE 2 MONTHS I'VE BEEN HERE, I'VE GONE 31 STRAIGHT DAYS AF AND LEARNED TO MODERATE, SO THIS HAS BEEN A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE FOR ME. I'VE TRIED TO BE OF SUPPORT TO ALL OF YOU AS WELL AND HOPE YOU WILL CONTINUE TO POST AND HELP EACH OTHER OUT....IDEALLY ON THIS THREAD SHOULD YOU DESIRE. I'LL STILL BE AROUND AND WILL CHECK IN ON OCCASION. ALSO, PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO PM ME IF YOU EVER WANT TO TALK. I PROMISE I WILL RESPOND IMMEDIATELY. IT'S BEEN A PRIVELEDGE TO MEET ALL OF YOU AND WISH YOU ALL THE BEST. HOPE SOME OF YOU WILL STAY IN TOUCH THRU PM MESSAGES.

                I'm still busy catching up on all the posts, so forgive me if I miss someone or something....

                Sea, I just loved the post about the Serenity Prayer, I'm going to try it tonight as sleep has also been alluding me a little. I've been trying to follow the post, but can't find anything about your job.... you went for a interview, did you get the job? I am continually inspired by your posts, you really are getting stronger by the day

                Renewal, I must try the breathing exercise in the morning before getting out of bed. I am awake so I may as well put it to good use. BTW Rugger is the sport of choice here, especially when we are playing New Zealand and Aus which we are this month.... great for a get together!

                Larissa, I also ran out of Topa on day 3 of going AF after taking it for 12 weeks while modding and I was really starting to stress, i mean that was one of my "crutches" gone, but due to financial probs I haven't topped up and I am still AF!! I am still taking my Kudzu and what feels like a million other little pills through out the day, but no more Topa - food for thought?

                          Hi, I am still here Had a rough few days with one thing and another. Knocked my confidence a bit. I guess there are times like that on this journey when we question why we are doing what we are and is it really the best thing for us. Deep down I know it is, but I sometimes wonder if I can really do it. Can I live my life without al or drugs and be happy? The stupid thing is once the anxiety left after about 3 weeks, I was SO happy. I think this weekend (pissed hubby) made me think a bit. Wondering if I should have gone out, will I ever be able to socialise etc etc etc. Just negative thinkiing really

                            Hi everyone!

                            I am new to this site, but not new to trying to stop drinking. This is something I really want to change but hasn't been going very well. I went 3 weeks, but thought I was good and went off the right path. I know what I need to do, I just have to do it.

                            I look forward to getting to know people and a new life of sobriety.
