I love coming and reading the threads here.
they're so great and make me feel so good.
I love reading about everyone here who is sober and healthy and then dipping over to AH or the drinking forums and reading about all the dipsos drinking ten cans and a naggin every saturday night. oh how I pity them. If they came over to the dark side they'd never turn back.
Morpheus needs to start dishing out some more blue pills, the entire nation has their head buried in the sand, alcohol is a poison and a scourge on this country, it ruins lives, careers, families, relationships.
stay clean,stay clear, the dreaded juice is the devil's bait.
oh, PS, as of midnight, I'm 365 days today and never felt better

Feckin tesco put the great discount beers beside the entrance when i walked in. Had to run past but compensate myself with some chocolate.
They dont make it easy.
Come on day 10.:rolleyes:
Hi 2lazytogetup Plan social activities with SOBER people.
Have reading material around that aids you in your sobriety. (i.e. biographies of people who have sobered up and how they did it, AA or other literature, etc.)
Sobriety is my Num 1 priority every single day. It has to be. I put a lot of effort into it. But my reward is that the obsession to drink has left me. I don't get strong urges to drink any more. To me? My efforts are all worth while. So get your plan made out,write it down and be ready 0 -

Well done and congratulations. I passed the year mark a few months ago and to be honest, just 2 years ago, I never even dreamed of being in this position. I never thought I was capable of it, that I could survive life without alcohol. But here I am. And now, in fact, I wonder how I tolerated life WITH alcohol for so long. Real (sober) life is just so rewarding, it's another world.
I do wish more people would 'get' it though. It can be a bit lonely being the only teetotaller. The other day I was ask across a crowded bar 'So why did you decide to stop having fun then?'. Yes, probably a mistake going into that particular bar but you get the picture. I have to admit, this level of stupidity is rare but it's annoying all the same.
Anyway, well done Kendall Rapid Bug!!!!0 -

Lads & lassies Just an opinion which mighten reflect on some or even any of you here but for me recovery is much more than merely remaining abstinence. Of course, maintaining abstinence is a necessary part of recovery and the core of your recovery program. But if you do not make healthy choices in all areas of your life, you will find it difficult to lead a satisfying, fulfilling life.
One group of recovery experts published a definition of recovery as "a voluntarily maintained lifestyle characterized by sobriety, personal health, and citizenship." Personal health involves not only to physical and mental health, but also social health -- participation in family and social roles. Citizenship refers to "giving back" to the community and society.
Even if you have been clean and sober continually for more than five years, you are still one slip away from a relapse. In spite of your success, you can continue your participation in your mutual support groups.
After five years of sobriety you are much less likely to have a relapse and you may not have to spend as much conscious effort to maintain your sober lifestyle, but your continued recovery can be a lifelong process.Well done everyone its great to be sober & free.:cool:0 -
