    Day 31 and Beyond: Hello, I'm a non-drinker

    I'm back! internet is sporadic on these cruise ships (not expecting any sympathy from that line) hahahaha.

    currently at dock in Skagway Alaska and it's a byoootiful sunny day. got shirt off and cabin door open.
    Dx and I are having a ball and relaxing/eating and doing the tourist thing.

    Believe! great to have my shooting partner back.

    MedMama, glad to hear the resolve in your post....yes you can. XXXX

    ok, you guys won't believe this but when we were at dock a few days ago Dx bought me a ........

    .........drumroll please............

    kilt!

    no kidding! OMG. I'm in fashion shock. I've never had one of those before. it's made by utilikilt.com and they are pretty spiffy. yes i suppose I shall post a picture. looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue. hahahahahaa.

    be well you rascals

      I heard that canned tomato soup has more AL than AF beer????I would be afraid that the smell of the beer would push triggers so I am loving flavored waters (watermelon YUM YUM) Evie

        Day 31 and Beyond: Hello, I'm a non-drinker

        Happy Monday everyone!

        Just got back from a family reunion weekend - I can honestly say "I can't believe I didn't drink". I was so wanting to with the stresses of this family that I do NOT fit into. So I got some NA beer and drank the 6 pack over a couple of days. I know that's compulsive - but I was just wanting to drink away my sorrows. I didn't. PTL.

        Believe - looks like you were in the right place at the right time, once again. So glad you are popping back in on a fairly regular basis - me too - not daily but I try to a few times a week.

        MM - Oh I need to go read the boards - not sure what happened that you are talking about this being day 2 - I'll go read ....

        Det .... A Kilt .... WAY TO GO MAN!!! I want photos!!!!!!!!!!

        Thankful - I am sorry you are feeling so sad. I had a tough weekend too. Sad is the word I'd use also. Maybe we are all at another cross road. We somehow are all finding our way back to this thread. That is good

        WW - I miss you.

        BB - How are you doing? Give us the update from VT !!

        Janice - 90 days ... Great job!! Please do join us on this thread! This is what it is for!!

        Kaddy - 79 days! I am SOOOOOOOOOO HAPPY to see the success people are having! It fosters hope for everyone!! Keep it up!!

        Evie - I missed something on the Tomato soup - fill me in ..............

        Gotta go read ....

          Living, huge congrats to you! see....we are stronger than we think

          Evileou...if you think that there is even a teeny thought that AF beer will hit a trigger then DONT risk it dear!!! your health and happiness are worth a ton more than the taste. Honestly I started drinking aF beer as a substitute and now I'd rather have plain carbonated water, or some nice juice or tea. tea is great.

                Hi ALL,

                I like to join you on the beyond thread im 44days AF feeling strong in my body, but i know my mind will take that bit longer still get that funny feeling like a cold shivering feeling when i open that fridge door especially at weekends when my husband has lots more cans of skol super in the fridge. I feel i need to make myself more committed.

                Love

                                Wow.....Five months for BB and Thankful, I also think it is five months for WW and Believe!!! WOW!!! So many of "Our Gang" is moving right along in Living Sober!!! OK, so I do not count, but I know that I am about a week behind Bootsie, so Five months for me, any day!!!

                                I love that we are all doing this "Our Own Way", with the help and guidance of RJ and MWO! I must admit that I would go to Lenair in a heartbeat!! OMG!! She would have a handful with me!! But, Lenair is not in my budget right now. Soooooo, I have to continue on with my plan......not so bad, yes, at times, I get strong urges......but, I get busy and they pass............would I like to just not even have fleeting thoughts of AL....You Bet!! But, will I allow those thoughts to drive me back to drinking?? NOPE!

                                I am so happy that so many are doing so well.......Liv, you are so incredible!! Teardrop and Kaddy.....well done...keep it going!

                                Love to ALL!!
