I feel really good

Post by VowsOfSadness » Thu Jun 19, 2008 5:00 am

BECAUSE I JUST MADE A GOOD DECISION & I'm proud of it!

i gave up drinking 8 months ago but have drank a few time since then (maybe 3 but I had a lot of control) and

me and my friend Taylor and Blaine all decided to quit drinking in light of what happened to my bf.

Us all finding its hard, urgry (for me and taylor), or still drinking (for blaine). Me and Taylor decided we would go back to AA meetings once a week and we would go together & try to get Blaine to go as well that way we can see eachother and also better support eachother.

Me & Taylor have both been to AA before, but it was before we knew eachother.


And even though I haven't been drinking I still think it is a good idea and I know my mom won't mind since she is always lecturing me on drinking.

sooooo WOOT for good decisions!!!

Congratulations on your decision!

AA has saved my life - I have about 20 months at this point. It's a rough decision to make and I'm glad you feel good about it. Wishing you the best!

Feel free to PM anytime.

Being almost devastated is horrible because it lingers. But total devastation brings a kind of peace. It lets you give up.

We are the girls with anxiety disorders, filled appointment books, five-year plans. We take ourselves very, very seriously. We are the peacemakers, the do-gooders, the givers, the savers. We are on time, overly prepared, well read, and witty, intellectually curious, always moving… We drink coffee, a lot of it. We are on birth control, Prozac, and multivitamins… We are relentless, judgmental with ourselves, and forgiving to others. We are the daughters of the feminists who said, “You can be anything,” and we heard, “You have to be everything." - Courtney Martin.
