Today i can finally say im feeling good. this is day 3 for me of feeling well after months and months in lousy 2007 of med asjutments. I am very thankful that today i am finally feeling better emotionally.went to see my psych. doc. yesterday and he is making no more changes till next week and only if i feel well enuf to change again.He said he wanted to give me a rest emotionally and for my very painful headaches.Finally, im getting some relief!yay! Happy 2008! especially for those who have suffered enuf during 2007.Another COOL thing for 2008 is that today I get to celebrate my 23 months annivarsary of sobriety.I have come a Long, long , long way since i stopped consuming that poison.I feel proud to have made it this far. i told poeple, jokingly of course, that i was going to celebrate by sipping down a cosmo.Boy do i miss those things sometimes...and i miss my wine...and i miss my beer and i miss my shots of liquor and I misss......well, i dont miss them now as much as i used to but there is still occasionally that craving or want for another drop but i just wont do it.hopefully, never again in my life. today is a visit with my counselor who i absolutly adore.she has helped me sooooooo much over the past few years and will be very excited and proud of my sobriety.and I get to celebrate it with no doom and gloom. i hope i can continue to support those who are struggling with any addictions b/c i know what its like to almost lose your life over a stinkin' man made substance. happy 2008 for all especially those who have had a more than roguh 2007.peace and love.Lola***

Yay! I\'m loving this Lola. If only everyday could be days like this :) CONGRATS for 23 months! Wow, that\'s truely amazing from where I sit and so imspiring. I know it hasn\'t always been easy but here you are and clearly you are taking all of the right steps to keep growing in pursuit of wellness and happiness. I can relate to the occasional craving. I get them all time. When I hit 30 days my first tought was to celebrate it (drinking) *slaps forhead* oh yeah, I don\'t do that anymore! lol. You inspire me to get myself into that program I keep dragging my heels on. I\'m so happy for you that things are turning a corner possibly *hugs* You have a lot to be proud of, I\'m proud of you!
Hi Lola,
Congrats on the no booze time. I\'ve been 36 months now since a drunk and really don\'t crave at all. The idea of drinking actually scares me, finally. I wanted to start eating ephedra again, but managed to remind myself of the consequences of doing that, so stayed away. Take care and we\'ll chat soon. Peace!

Its been hard 4 you over the years but you finally reached your destination my dear pal...LOL I pray that you\'ll conitnue 2 soar thru the storms that comes your way! and Im so proud of you...you do deserve a real special treat...maybe some wine and nice dessert! LOL save me a piece. ttyl
