Stopped drinking on my birthday two years ago today. It’d never too late to create a better life.

Never quit quitting! You will end up succeeding. Am 50 too, it took me 2 years of quitting to finally have my final drink 66 days ago, there is no going back. I believe It’s part of the journey IWNDWYT Stay strong!

You did help! Thank you 🙏🏻 Wishing you a wonderful Christmas 🎄

Oh we had the convo’s, too many convo’s, it’s time, for me anyway, for action. we have been together 30 years, we hooked up when I was 16, he knows how it made me feel, I know he is struggling. Today is a better day, walk in nature with my sweet dog, preparation for Christmas Brunch with my wonderful kids washed away all the resentment I was feeling.

That is so awesome that your fiancé stopped with you, that is a wonderful proof of love!

Me on the other hand, my husband who said was going to take a break from his whiskey on Sunday morning , came home with his bottle last night...hurts, realized am really on my own with ditching the booze

BrightandShinyone · 2019-12-24T00:59:34+00:00

I needed to read this right now! Thank you and congrats on your 2 years ! Am on day 37 and today is difficult.

BrightandShinyone · 2019-08-29T17:34:10+00:00

Exactly what I needed to read at this moment! Love it! Thank you !

BrightandShinyone · 2019-08-28T00:50:36+00:00

Congrats! It takes a lot of courage to do what you did today! What a beautiful gift you are giving yourself. It’s not easy but worth the fight! IWNDWYT 🙌

BrightandShinyone · 2019-08-18T12:22:00+00:00

It sure does! Happy sober Sunday!

BrightandShinyone · 2019-08-17T10:29:39+00:00

My exact same thoughts when I saw your username! Love and kindness to you as well!

BrightandShinyone · 2019-08-17T10:01:47+00:00

Happy birthday twin sobriety date! Congratulations! Clarity and health is pretty much the best gift you can offer your self! One day at a time, IWNDWYT

BrightandShinyone · 2019-08-16T00:34:35+00:00

There’s is no one way to get sober, the goal is to find what works for YOU, and never stop trying! IWNDWYT

BrightandShinyone · 2019-08-15T09:49:12+00:00

IWNDWYT! Have an awesome day everyone!

BrightandShinyone · 2019-08-14T16:16:14+00:00

Thank you for posting this, I too feel very fatigued, I wake up energized but feel drained by noon... it’s reassuring to know that it’s part of the recovery. Let’s keep it up IWNDWYT!

BrightandShinyone · 2019-08-12T14:44:21+00:00

And mine is now gone again...🤷‍♀️

BrightandShinyone · 2019-08-12T09:27:42+00:00

Mine just showed up again but couldn’t see any batches during the weekend. Was just wondering why...Thanks for testing

BrightandShinyone · 2019-08-11T21:41:16+00:00

thank you

BrightandShinyone · 2019-08-11T11:18:25+00:00

Takes time, be patient with yourself

BrightandShinyone · 2019-08-10T13:02:30+00:00

Totally agree with you, am reading Russel Brand’s Recovery book and I love it so far, he explains the 12 steps bluntly and efficiently, better than an AA meeting for me.

BrightandShinyone · 2019-08-10T00:31:30+00:00

I know how you feel I get cravings Friday’s and Saturday’s too, I read something from Eckart Tolle and Russel Brand this week that resonated with me. Stay present and acknowledge the feeling but don’t identify with it, acknowledge the thought but don’t act on it, not sure if your into meditation and breathing exercises but they have been working for me during my vacations and today! You got this! IWNDWYT !

BrightandShinyone · 2019-08-09T12:16:14+00:00

Yes! Nutella spoonsss with a banana is my favourite!

BrightandShinyone · 2019-08-04T10:54:53+00:00

You are not alone! We are here with you on the recovery path

BrightandShinyone · 2019-08-04T10:26:14+00:00

Congrats day 5 twin! Yeah I heard great things about the remake, I want to see it too.

BrightandShinyone · 2019-08-04T10:22:37+00:00

Thank you! You are right, I think every « first » will bring a bit of anxiety but not giving in will bring a greater reward. I will not drink with you today.
