Hello Dee.  I have not been on the forum for a very long time.

I am glad that you are having some success with your battle.  It is so difficult to beat the booze.

 I managed an Alcohol-Free day, today.  Having none at all is a wonderful feeling.  Now, I have to deal with tomorrow!

I wish you well.

Blessings,

Alonangel 🎇

Nowadays, the times I get drunk. Are very thankfully.....few and far between......I have never, ever forgotten just how much, help, support, advice. And sincere, warm, encouraging comments from you all....when I was at my lowest ebb....fourth section and twice attempted suicide...I felt no hope for the future, I was damaging my beloved family....but I found this site an absolute lifeline.....I

Truly am certain that you have helped an awful lot more people...of whom you are unaware......thank you all, always....from me and all of the others you have helped also...God bless....one and all Xxxxxxxxxxx

Hi sweet Dee,

i remember how kind you have been with me over the years. I know that you understand so much and give so many here your heat and experience.

i want for you to find whatever works for you to stay in a place where you are happy . I have a favoriate saying that can add some detail into life in a short sentence and with few words. 

Here is one of my favorite sayings by Ralph Waldo Emerson.

"What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within you "! You have a kind loving ??

You are so special and always willing to reach out and help others.

Yep our FAM rocks xxxxx

yes gwen...deidre..our FAM.

Hi ADEfree. Thanks, great to hear from you, too. I have had 6 successful Alcohol-Free days.  I have had no particular withdrawal symptoms... yet.  I took Diazepam for a couple of days, Campral twice.  I will take again if I feel it is necessary.  I am not craving for alcohol... I am sick of it !

I don't know how long this attitude will last, so have the medication on standby.(L.O.L.)

How are you doing ?  Well, I hope.

All Good Wishes,

Alonangel 🎇

Hi Alonangel,

Of course I remember you; glad to hear you're feeling okay and good to see a member posting that I used to communicate with - at least I think we shared a few threads.

This is the first time I've posted for ages; I began to see that the new methods seem to have ousted the old fashioned way that I used to recover so I began to feel pretty useless. I thought HAVE A LOOK TO MSEE WHAT"S GOING ON BUT I think I won't be doing much posting unless mI can offer some encouragement or if anyone shares anything which is useful to me maintaining my sobriety.

I have a good few years under my belt now; I won't say how many as someone seemed a bit riled with me over something and my long time mof sobriety came into it.

I dont know if you nremember but I became sober and stuck with a group m shall remain anonymous as there was some talk about not allowing reference being made to it; I don't know if that happened? From what I've seen, TSM and associated drugs seem to be the main topic these days which, if it's working well is terrific.

I helped to start a group in my Asian town and it's growing rapidly. It suits me because it's what I'm used to and I know very little about the new nmethods so, as I said, I can't be of much use to anyone other than to be empathetic.

Ah well, I'll keep having a look. Someone might post something that I could become involved with and get some useful help in return but I enjoy going to my own meetings and some of us have a good social life together. It's great really as I get to meet people from all over the world.

Anyway, nice to talk to you again; I won't be nipping in very often as I'm a member of a different group on line which I can identify with better.

This forum makes me feel like I'm from Bedrock or Jurassic park .

Well, I guess it's always here to see if there's any help and support to give and receive.maybe I'll see you later. bye for now. Colin.

Lovely to hear from you,Colin.  We dinosaurs are NOT EXTINCT !!!

I am delighted that you have maintained sobriety for A LONG TIME.

I have just completed 7 days Alcohol-Free. I am very happy about it.  I truly believe God is answering my prayers.  I have had very little medication. 

Your achievement strengthens my resolve.

All Good Wishes to you.

Thanks Alonangel; You're right, there are millions of us out there who seek the right path for ourselves. A great many of us are successful; unfortunately, some aren't. I'm not religious at all, but I do pray to my God to help all suffering alcoholcs and those who can't or haven't got to grips with it yet.

Well done on not drinking for 7 days - one day is a great achievement and 7 is wonderful. As I've said, I know very little about the meication used in new methods but I understand that it's imortant to follow the driections to the letter.

Here's hoping you enjoy another 7 days without letting your guard drop.

Good luck and well done. Best Wishes. Maybe it's good idea to have a plan in mind for Christmas?

Brilliant - come  on you Alonangel (that is a footie term for encouragement lol) x But I don't do footie, I am a footie widow x
