    Hi Mauri
    I loved your posts to me and miss them, you kept me grounded and I really appreciated your care and friendship. Please don't be hard on yourself - we are all in this together, I would love to hear from you again you are a very very, special person, caring and loving - so don't lose sight of that, you give so much to so many people - and I can tell you - I am one of them - so Mauri remember that. I look forward to hearing from you my dear friend. Love and Sunshine Kaz xx

      My new life...

      Oh thanks everyone, I fell off again last night but today I feel determined again and I am going to be AF, I KNOW I can do it when I put my mind to it especially with the help of all you lovely people

      Been to the park this morning with DS but was far too cold to enjoy it really plus am feeling really depressed which I know I can blame on my drinking, really struggling to keep it all together atm and finding looking after a very active toddler very hard work, I want to cry actually, really bawl my eyes out :upset: I know I NEED to crack this addiction because it is ruining my life

        Hi Mauri,

        I just wanted to say hi and send you a big old hug. I was offline for about 2 weeks due to computer crashes and finally had to break down and get a new one with my tax return (sigh), so here I am back in action. I was catching up on your thread and just wanted to offer words of support. You can do it! Like you said, you can when you put your mind to it. It all boils down to a choice, yes, I'm going to drink or no, I'm not going to drink. Keep going for the no! It's such a better place to be. I have 50 days plus a few under my belt and if I can do it, anyone can. I hope you are having a lovely evening. Hang in there! We're all here for you!

            Mauri, If I could reach thru this darn computer and wrap my arms around you and give you a great big old bear hug, I would. I think you would find very few of us who found MWO for the first time, gave up drinking that same day, and haven't touched a drop since! This is my 3rd time back since starting in 2009. You can beat this thing! Every time you log on and either just read, or post your thoughts, you are making progress! You admitted you have a problem and want to beat this - that's huge! I started back my 3rd time on January 3rd of this year. I have not been totally AF and was afraid to share it until I was on another thread and someone else was being truly honest about their slip. For me, that slip only made me want this even more. If you feel like you need meds or a doctors help, please reach out! That may be the edge that helps you over the times when you would normally give in to the urges. They are strong, my friend - believe me I know. At 50+ days, I still get them from time to time but they are getting less and less.

            I feel like my life has purpose to it now besides just getting thru the day so I can have that first drink when I get home. There is more to life and you have a wonderful family to prove that! Let us help you - PM me if you'd like - don't give up because you are worth it - not only to your loving famiy but to your MWO family as well. You can see from all the posts how much we care about you.

            You are special - just remember not only do the rest of us give support, we also get it and I have gotten a lot just from reading your posts!

            Hang in there my friend - you will see that life is beautiful without all the guilt and suffering AL brings us.

                    Hello Mauri and welcome back. If this were easy this site wouldn't exist!

                    You can do it, though. There are lots of people here who have, so it's possible! Good luck and have a wonderful AF day!

                      Mauri's back!

                      First of all - you are not a disaster area! You are human just as we all are. You are back and that's all that matters.

                      We missed you! How are you doing?

                          thanks everyone, I just love everyones support on here, I am ok, been out this morning to a play session with DS, he loved it, I am going to take him every week now, I need to get into a routine and find things to do with him. I started my new Mehndi course last week and am loving it, its on Tuesday evenings from 5.30 till 9 so that keeps me AF for one day at least LOL!

                              Morning Mauri,

                              Sorry about your sleep - I usually elbow mine when he starts snoring. Funny thing is - I used to snore too! Now that I've given up AL, I don't think I snore anymore! At least he doesn't complain about it

                              Hope your Mhendi class is fun tonight!

                                Thanks Jolie, I elbow DH too but it only works for five minutes then he is off again! The class was good, well I enjoyed it because we were practising our mehndi but the teacher is actually rubbish, basically not teaching us anything much at all, we covered contra indications - diseases and disorders which was good then she basically left us to our own devices - I wanted to learn techniques and how to put designs together and though this would be what the course was but it is really teaching yourself through practice luckily I am ok doing that ( I have already been doing lots of work at home) but I don't know how some of the other students are going to progress to assessment level as she isn't giving them any guidance! Oh and she is a right miserable so and so!


                                Anyway thats enough of that little rant LOL I am now on day 3 and feeling good and positive to be AF today Taking DS to a soft play area to meet some friends later, this morning I need to catch up on some laundry - yawn!
