To my process. I hesitated on the blog idea and kept it in my journal for weeks but I finally reached out of my comfort zone. It was slow at first. Just sending a couple personal emails to a few of the bloggers I began with. To then actually commenting on a few posts...publicly! I joined an online sober living community just feeling that was the "right" next step. Then last Thursday I took the leap and started a blog. Your post couldn't have been more ironic in timing. I have NO idea what I'm doing but I realized the only reason I wasn't doing it is because I was afraid. After my first post I realized even if no one reads it, it's helping ME. Thank you for your inspiration!

Then I came across your blog back in November, and it all began to make sense the type of alcohol dependent person (I too dislike the alcoholic word) I was. I couldn't get enough of your message, your recommendations on books, and ALL the inspiring posts from your readers. Meeting you virtually changed my perspective on how I could give up the booze. And to quote you, "You're right, Jen. It's not all roses and sunshine, but nothing is all of the time! And it's real." Real is good, very good!

You are a great example of how to totally embrace af life and it's so important for people to realise that there are great things about being AF. It's hard at times (esp at the start) but if you can see it as what you are gaining rather than missing then it really helps. And this is what you are so good at!Edinburgh Housewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16507850075300916316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763877266715908242.post-54314495064078618652016-03-05T23:25:12.291-08:002016-03-05T23:25:12.291-08:00Oh Clio - really, no need to apologise!

I was too harsh on a couple of posts. It's all too easy to be Anna Wintour on line, but I feel a true sense of accountability because this blog is so honest and real. My posts came across as pot shots: a small criticism was delivered as a pathetic video game blow up. I'm sorry.
