    An older drunk back on day one. Who's with me?

    Guitarista;1301551 wrote: Thanks LG.

    I recently had 2.5. yrs sobriety, and then last year did some 'experimenting.' Fortunately i didn't lose the plot and realised i prefer the 24/7 sober life. Much more fun and excitement.
    I saw my drinking returning to its old ways, and could see the old gates of hell slowly opening, with the ball and chain, waiting for my return. I'm not a 'normal' drinker, and that's totally okay. Once i accepted this, i now choose not to drink, and my possibilities in this life again are limitless. The battle is over. I surrender, and accept my truth that i don't wish to exercise control over my booze intake once i start drinking, and that's totally okay. I'm not a rowdy drunk, but i do damage to ME, and this is no longer what i want, nor acceptable to ME.

    What i have surrendered to, is my truth, my self, my potential, my real, true path, and the endless wonder of life.

    Hope you're well there. Take care. G.
    I just love this post. Thank you Mr G for all of your wonderful, thoughtful posts.

      Thanks Nora, you're too kind.

      Hope you're kicking some ass in your own way there!

        I reckon you're right about the Italians. I love the French, particularly French women, but Italians have so much style and life....they are irrepressible. The women just knock me out. Such a life force. Then again, so are Brazillian women, 3 of which i shared a place with in London for a year a while ago. All crazy, and absolutely lovable! :h

        Hey Mr G, thanks for saying hi. Yep, Italians no. 1 for me and the women have such effortless style. Your place in London sounded fun - lucky you :H

        Just locking down another day one (yes have to confess strayed off the path on holidays and post weekend). Running booked for 6am. Here we go again...

            Rightio.

            Back to business. No excuses, no explanations, and no self judgements, just a kick up the arse, and a refocus on what is grand about life and it's everyday foibles. What's a foible you may ask?

            A big hello and welcome to anyone reading.

              A bit embarrassing lol, and there will be sniggerer's (who are always welcome here, cause i love a snigger myself), but of course, those who matter don't mind, and those who mind don't matter.

              Edit : And another thing. Anyone, and that means YOU, who are getting themselves sober, are heroes. Getting sober and staying sober and taking back our precious lives is a heroic act. Don't doubt it, and don't doubt yourself.

              Onward and upward bound.

                  Hey Kradle!

                  Great going on your 30 days and beyond.

                  Yep, that's me, and i'm taking advanced orders of $20 for my new album due out before christmas. Just joking, and are you following the tour de france? Beautiful scenery in the background via t.v. is what i love about it.

                    Hello I'm in on the no excuses/explanations/self judgement front. Got a couple of months until it's a year I found MWO and still I haven't managed that pesky 30 day mark. Enough already! Not however judging myself. Had LOADS of AF days and I was a daily drinker before I came here. It's time though. Yesterday evening had some wine after after 7 days sober. This seems to be my pattern now but want to crack it and know what it feels like to be 30 days sober (and then beyond, but one goal at a time). So it's a happy day one for me

                        This is my first post in a lot of months. I had to practice insanity for awhile, but today I am so weary and worn. I am physically fading. My mind & body can't continue to come back from the abuse. So that's where I am today...crawling back, desperately needing help.

                          So many on day one so I am gonna join you. I had 4 months this year AF (January - April) and loved it. Then.... So here I go. If I don't post I won't hold myself accountable. Free Fly I think we started about the same time earlier this year.

                            Oh me too!! I am on Day one as well. I managed two months Nov and Dec, and just not hit my stride back - I am joining in...

                              I had 20 years sobriety and I gave all that away because I couldn't deal with all the changes that life was throwing at me. So I am the example that no matter how long or how "secure" you are in your sobriety, you have to guard it with everything you've got cause you are only one drink away! I want another 20 years!

                                If I don't find a way to stay sober, I won't have another 20 years!
