Re: Newbies Nest
Checking in here at the Nest for anyone clicking on "Just Starting Out". Please read through these pages - there are amazing posts from amazing people here, with journeys to a sane life without alcohol! The Toolbox is also a great place to read the best of the best posts showing transformation, hope, results, and the benefits of no longer struggling with alcohol.
I have been sober 5+years. In that time, so much has changed. My relationships are healthier. My self-expectations are healthier. My body is healthier. My business has grown. I know so much more about who I am and what I want. I have inner peace and operate more from the heart - less from my need for that next drink. I participate in the moments, and am present to enjoy and experience them - good or bad. I appreciate life and have the health and vitality to reach for that next star - because I am my best self. I have bad days and grumpy times and disappointing events - but I choose to feel them, not drown them. Then move forward and am a better person on the other side. I sometimes wish I could be less of the "odd one out"... but let me tell you - I wouldn't trade my life now for anything in the world. I am happy.

Re: Newbies Nest
Hola friends!
Great post friend Kensho. Our toolbox is an absolute game changer and lifesaver. Highly recommended reading.
I've obviously strayed away from here this year, however i can tell you that all is well. I've supercharged my mindset which has resulted in more action on goals important to me, which = more living which = a busy boy. As a fairly simple bloke where multitasking is some far off fantasy skill that others have, not me lol, my morning routines are disciplined and focused fairly much on mindset and today's goal/s. There's been no room for booze as i continually aim to raise my standards and forge my attitude. Daily simple journalling writing out a gratitude list and 10-20 'I am' statements to rewire the mental program. And.................a cold shower a day keeps the doctor away. 5 mins long slow breathing/meditation minimum. Exercise/movement to shake that arse and to shake it up bb.
Big waves to evabody. Surf's up! x
'I am part of all that I have met, yet all experience is an arch wherethro', gleams that untravelled world whose margins fade, forever and forever when I move'

Re: Newbies Nest
Hey Gang! It's been a minute. Great to see some of the usual suspects. Recently hit my 9th year and needed to share my gratitude for these rooms. After many years of failed attempts I found and established my sobriety right here.
If your new here immerse yourself here. It really can work.
Missed you freaks! I'll check back soon
