Get yourself a cuppa coffee/tea or anything else and join me!
It's really hard to know where to start because it's a very long story. So, I'll just start. I'm in life review as I enjoy my seventy second year around the sun. I'm an Aquarian and have followed astrology for a long time. This is my year of the Fire Horse. We've already burned through half a year!
This is the first sober year I've ever had. I think? Trying to remember, so long ago. I've gone fairly long stints of being alcohol free, but this is the longest time.
Today I was reading comments from sober people, and it was wonderful to see how very well everyone is feeling. Some people believe that alcohol calms our nervous system down and relaxes us but in fact, it makes us more anxious. They commented about not waking up sick with a hangover, sleeping better, more regulated nervous system and the pride we feel as we beat down the sober days, weeks, months and years!
I joined a fantastic on-line women's group called "Women For Sobriety" first in 2021 when I managed to stay sober for six months. Fell of the wagon and decided in August 2025, I was quitting for good. WFS has been an incredible resource with lots of Zoom meetings and groups to join! I honestly can't say enough about it. It originated in the United States and currently most women are from there. I would love to start an in-person meeting in my town, but I'll have to see. I would like to meet some new women who are in recovery, like me!
