Hey D,
That I think is the difference for me now. I always said "I'll try" or "I'll see if I can" or "Mabey I can" but now,That is all gone!!
Now "I KNOW I can" and "I know I WILL" !!!!!
The calirity is such a beautiful thing !!!!!!!!

Love and Respects to all my MWO family
thank you so much !!!!

I agree - I have said "maybe" or "I'd like to try ..." far too many times. Now that I am almost at 50 days, things are so much clearer.

Last summer was my first time attempting to do AF in a long time. I made it 60 days, then went for moderation (not so successfully). I had not made a commitment. Now, a year later I see that AF is not about deprivation - it is about doing something really wonderful for myself and is paving the way for so many possibilities.

How glad I am that I am AF right now, especially with the job uncertainty!! Even not being sure about my job is not shaking me this time regarding AF!

Hugs,
Pansy (thanks for great quote D)

My family is so sick of me saying "Don't say I'll try, say I will." Now if I could only follow my own advice more often!!!

I agree D, it's time to get busy living or get busy dying. I know which one I choose.

There you go. Thats it.

I think it was that Star Wars movie where Luke said to Yoda, "I'll try".

Yoda replied, "TRY? There is no try. There is only DO or DO NOT"

Another step forward for me has been to move from "I will.." to "I DO.." - to speak in the present tense...
"I will..." still puts it out there in the future. "I do" or "I am" brings it to the present moment.

Every time I read a post where someone says "I will try, I might, I think I can"...you KNOW, they won't make it! You know how I know...because I said it a MILLION TIMES. I have cravings so bad some days and the ONLY reason I dont cave in is because I say to myself and OUTLOUD.."I WON'T DRINK" I am not going to drink today....I am not giving in to this anymore. I am not going to let this beast get me anymore. I am going to win, I have to win. I can't disappointment myself, my children, or my Mom anymore. I have to do this. The past couple of days I have had TERRIBLE cravings...not sure why, but it has been REAL bad, but I refuse to give in to it. Get pissed!!! Get pissed at the alcohol not at yourself. Get mad at what you become when you drink it. AND love who you are sobber because we are all good people and we deserve to change and show our loved ones that we are good people. It has been so long for some of them, they may have forgotten. Get pissed and show them who you are sobber!

LUVUALL,
You are so right.
I never had any reason to drink at all..........I only had an infinite number of excuses.
I can still find those excuses to drink every day.........but, I vehemently refuse to drink.

ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING!!!
