THIS really made me laugh - I had asked you a few posts ago what you were going to do at the end of your 30 days - and this had me giggling ! Good for you all41 - you are such a motivation for us all following you. Newlife I laughed at your five posts saying the same thing - did your finger get stuck?? LOL.....or maybe you were just really proud of him !!!

Wonderful wonderful news All41 - hugs to you !!!!

OMG I had no idea it was posted 5 times. Sorry all41. This is the first forum like this I have ever used and when it doesn't respond quickly I think I just keep pushing the button. Have to stop doing that. I AM really proud of you, though. Newlife

all41, how are you doing? You haven't posted in a really long time. Just wondering how you are getting on.

Hugs from Newlife

I'm doing well Newlife, thanks for asking

I finished my 30 days of abstinence back in April, then in May took a 25th anniversary trip St Johns with my wife. Had a great time hiking, diving (I got recertified for SCUBA) eating great food and hanging out on BEAUTIFUL beaches. Then in June I took my youngest son fishing in Massachusetts for 2 weeks and again had a great time. No more vacations for a while I'm afraid, so lately I have been focusing on work and getting things done on our farm.

One thing that has been on my mind of late, is that now 9 months after starting TSM, I'm chasing old hobbies with renewed vigor, and starting new ones. I had really fallen into a rut and was losing sight of things I had previously enjoyed. I have also gotten back into shape and lost a lot of weight since January......a long slow process, but worth it for mind and body.

Still drinking more than I should, but haven't missed a day of the golden rule. I'm just plugging away at it and trying not to sweat it. Planning on another 30 days of abstinence soon, maybe September??

Hugs back at you!!!

That all sounds really good, all41, it sounds like you are enjoying life. Renewed interest in hobbies and getting out of a rut is wonderful.

Thanks for the update!! Nal on!! Newlife

all41, how are you doing? Newlife
