It's been a couple of days after I decided I really wanted this change. I don't know how long I will last or what this journey will entail but I know this is the first time after 13 years of drinking every weekend that I am setting the intention to God and the heavens above that I want to do this.... I don't feel to sure or too strong right now but I'm ready....anyone ever felt like this? How did you go about feeling like this?

Sure we have. That’s all about the first step. What I did was go to an AA meeting. Got involved, started actually doing what was suggested. Got a sponsor and worked the steps. And a year later I am finally living a free and peace filled life.

Look for a book called This Naked Mind by Annie Grace. Pray and trust in the most high Jesus Christ. Best of luck on your journey

Congratulations welcome to this new thing we call LIFE. :heart:
The Promises
(From pages 83-84 of the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous)
If we are painstaking about this phase of our development, we will be amazed before we are halfway through. We are going to know a new freedom and a new happiness. We will not regret the past nor wish to shut the door on it. We will comprehend the word serenity and we will know peace. No matter how far down the scale we have gone, we will see how our experience can benefit others. That feeling of uselessness and self-pity will disappear. We will lose interest in selfish things and gain interest in our fellows. Self- seeking will slip away. Our whole attitude and outlook on life will change. Fear of people and economic insecurity will leave us. We will intuitively know how to handle situations which used to baffle us. We will suddenly realize that God is doing for us what we could not do for ourselves.
Are these extravagant promises? We think not. They are being fulfilled among us - sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly. They will always materialize if we work for them.
We are happy you are here​:bouquet::bouquet::bouquet::bouquet::bouquet::bouquet:
