    Campral and 32 days....

    I am not sure exactly what happened. I went 30 days no alcohol at all... no cravings... Then to make a long story short, I was unwillingly hosting a party for 40 at my house on Sunday. At about 1:00pm, I just suddenly decided this day was not going to work without a drink. Maybe I thought just one would be okay. By 6:00 I had had several -the Parrot Bay bottle was empty. I was not drunk, did not even feel a slight buzz. I realized though that I am unable to have just one, pretty much what I already knew. Today I am again starting over. FYI - If you have a very large family, do not be the only one with a pool...

      yeah, great with 30 days anyway that's super and just get back going again. If you want, we can do it together. I am at that place.

      Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life... And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

        Someone stop me

        Hey,I know that feeling too.Your just boppin along minding your own business and out of nowhere like a bolt of lightning.You say to yourself "you know what I'm going to have a drink and there is no 2 ways about it". And yeah,to me that first drink tastes so good. and maybe the second is even better.But then the chase begins till either the bottle is empty or you get really hammered.Peer pressure or sheer habit is a great trigger for me.For me playing loud rockin guitar in a band in bars is a real test.It would be so sad to give up family and friends over that evil monster that loves to lurk in the shadows or right out in broad daylight in the front of your mind.All I can say to myself is "Please don't be weak".I will be so happy the next day that I won out against the urge.Most times the next day the urge might be there but the dynamics of the day aren't as conducive and you can blot it out of your mind.All I can say is life is a learning process.Learn from everything.ROCK YOUR AF CLOCK OFF

          Julie, I know what you mean. I was just over thirty days AF when I found a quart of vodka I had stuck in the workshop. (I am still finding booze I hid) I cannot describe the adrenaline rush and the pleasure it brought to my body just to see that bottle. I was able to pour it out, but I can understand getting caught up in the moment. It is one of the biggest challenges I face, especially when I am alone and no one would know but me. That is the time it takes me resolve to do the right thing. You did a great job on the 30 days, and you can make it back again. It was a good lesson learned.

          My Dr. told me if I did slip on the campral to just act like nothing happened and keep up the good work. I pass that advice on to you; you are doing great.

          God Bless
