What does your Avatar Represent?

Mine is the ray of sunlight shining through the tress.. Because when I decided to make a big change in my life I felt like I had been lost in a dark dark forest and I had finally started seeing the light peeking through. I know it's corny but it's true....
 
I would love if more members posted avatars. They are nice to look at and kind of represent that person.

Tender Liver

Hey Tallone,
 
I'm not a doctor, but i was told that depending on age and everything... the only way to reverse damage is to completely stop drinking alcohol.... you'll have to ask your doctor though!
 
I am quite young so my doctor has told me that I will be able to repair any damage...I hope that you will too!!!

Way to go on 12 days sober. :) I am really happy for you! I am glad that you have found something that is working for you.

It sounds like your weekend went well, these are all positive accomplishments. Be sure to keep track of these, they will become important as you go.

Right place for me?

I am so glad to hear that you have been going on your merry way and going on with your day without stopping by the pub. Focus on yourself and doing what is right for you. We can hope that your friends eventually will do the same. 
 
I have actually had a few friends, rethink their drinking habits once they saw me turn things around for myself. I have the control now, and I never want a substance to take over my decision making power again. It was way too risky.
 
 I'm glad to be sober. I'm happier than ever.

Tender Liver

Thanks Tallone, I have realized more recently how truly valuable and important our health is. We only have one body and one life to live. I want to make the best of it and treat my body with respect. I have made mistakes and will deal with the consequences, but from here on in I don't want to be contributing to my demise....
 
It is great to hear how well you are doing Tallone, I am convinced that you are on the right track!
