I am experiencing a wave of awareness flowing over me of how problematic my drinking has always been and how well I have managed to live my life in a way that masks and hides the problem. Thank you so much for your honest words here. It has been so immensely helpful to read about your journey.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-921119446130836418.post-38254042443797178262017-10-05T04:19:00.316+13:002017-10-05T04:19:00.316+13:00Facebook has it's pros and cons, but I love th...Facebook has it's pros and cons, but I love the online support for those who are sober, rethinking their relationship with alcohol, taking a break from booze, dabbling in sobriety, etc. I first got the motivation to change my relationship with alcohol by reading sober blogs and it was eye opening! I am part of a secret group on Facebook for those who took a six week stop drinking course (members only and people have to be added to see posts) and I love it. It's great to keep in touch with people after the class ended, provides support and motivation, and let's us know that us folks who have had issues with booze are far from alone in this world. Thanks Mrs. D for all you do on social media! Ignore the rude comments from people too. Many hide behind a computer screen and take their own issues out on others since they feel safe hiding on the web.

I am pretty sure I wouldn't be so open about my own journey had I not discovered the online sober bloggers who inspired me to share my own journey, and knowing that it helps those lurkers, everytime one person shares honestly, is a beautiful gift!Esther Naglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07851677752254310122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-921119446130836418.post-21861803581287030162017-10-03T01:57:18.893+13:002017-10-03T01:57:18.893+13:00I have had very similar Facebooking experiences.
...I have had very similar Facebooking experiences. <br /><br />Although I find, even if it is all positive, I am hooked on Facebook for bad reasons. Just to see how many likes and shares i get. That's why I'm trying to just be off it as much as possible. And when I'm on it, share honestly what is going on with me.Mark Goodsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06257882468859791553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-921119446130836418.post-2886831730348582942017-10-02T23:44:01.931+13:002017-10-02T23:44:01.931+13:00Thank you. :-)And yes to the ugly and the beauty o...Thank you. :-)And yes to the ugly and the beauty of Facebook. <br />In case one did not know: to hide unwanted (booze) messages on FB push the upper right button (3 tiny dots) on the post and then select 'hide message'. It is always possible to unhide it later. This way the post does not keep on popping back up when friends react to it.<br />xx, FeelingFeelinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02368335344721960600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-921119446130836418.post-1195315499259403462017-10-02T19:07:23.505+13:002017-10-02T19:07:23.505+13:00It's true.

More people are putting it out there that they are going sober and I love it :) It's time we looked at our lifestyles and for me (lack of) and live life on life terms,but armed with much healthier coping strategies.
