Hi everyone,
I just wanted to give a great big congratulations to Louise.
On the 29th September she will have notched up 1 year AF:goodjob:
I started not long after Louise and she has been a wonderful supporter and encourager to me and to so many others on MWO.
The other night I was going out to dinner with friends and was using an evening bag I haven't used for some time.As I was putting the usual junk inside it I found a folded piece with read this on Saturday night written on it. I opened and read a post that Louise had sent to me:
Oh Victoria....Don't go to that party with fear, go there with pride for what you have achieved so far, even if you have to write on a large sheet of paper,... 56 AF....and put it in your handbag, then each time you are the smallest bit tempted to have ......JUST ONE DRINK.... stop,open your bag, look at that paper and think to yourself.....I can have a drink if I want one, but I will be throwing away 56 days of damned hard work in the process.... FIFTY SIX DAYS.......is it worth it just for one glass of poison.
Also another plus, when you wake up the next morning, you will actually be able to remember the night before, you may even laugh when you think about some of the drunken antics of the other partygoers, and just think how many of them on their fifth or tenth drink will be looking at you with envy and wishing they too could remain sober?
So there are just a few reasons for not drinking, and btw, my heartiest congratulations on 56 days, I know how fan-bloody-tastic the feeling is as you see the days adding up, there thats another reason for not drinking as it would put you back to day one again.
Good luck though for the party, do post and let me know how it went, whatever the outcome,
Love Louise xxx
