Hi guys,
I'm looking for a place where I can be myself and post my odd and wandering thoughts from time to time. I have just come across this website and it seems terrific.
I'm 43 and I've recently started a four year university course, which is keeping me very busy, but I'm loving it.
I am currently living alone as my partner of (now) nearly seventeen years left me just over three years ago when he couldn't handle my drinking any more. When he had gone I had all day long to sit and drink and feel sorry for myself. It took me another year and hitting my personal bottom to get back into the rooms of AA. I am just so grateful that AA is there for us all. We are all lucky and miracles.
My boyfriend is arriving on Wednesday and he'll be staying with me for a few weeks and it's going to be great to be with him again. We speak and email each other every day, but we haven't quite got round to being full-time yet! But, we're working on it LOL!
Now, I have two years and two months of continuous sobriety and life just keeps better. If it can work for this alcoholic it can work for anyone who wants to get and stay sober.
Take care,
Q
