    30 Days for Loopy Lugs, Wakeupmom, and Wooflet!!


    Let's all celebrate the wonderful accomplishment these members have worked so hard for!


    Wonderworld started a great thread for newbies "Hello Sober Living". Well there are been several members that grouped themselves together and have really helped each other pull through with all their highs and lows and all the in between. They shared with each other just what they were going through and they could all relate because they were in the same boat together.

    I'd like to share with you quotes from each of their first posts in "Hello Sober Living". I think it says a lot about their determination. I hope they inspire you as much as they help to inspire me.

    Wooflet ~ The Plan
    My plan of attack - I've read the book, started on the CDs and Kudzu today, and a whole bunch of other supplements are on their way. I've decided to go without drugs for the moment, only because meds tend to react strangely with me and often have the opposite to the desired effect (weird, I know). I've alerted close friends who are going to help distract me at poison o'clock if I need it, I've come up with a bunch of rewards to treat myself for my successes, and I've lined up things to do (exercise, hobbies etc) to replace Al time. And of course I plan to spend a lot of time here on the boards.

    Wakeupmom ~ The Acceptance
    I have accepted that for me i have to quit for ever and give up the romantic notion that i can have a drink and be "normal".More than anything though i want a life back, one of health, energy, inner peace, joy, to look forward and self respect.

    Taking Action/Working the Plan
    I have been AF now since 1 May and been having a tough time of it, but after reading all 20 pages of this thread in one go I have so much good advice!

    I can really see where I have been making it hard for myself. Not remembering to take my sups, not having any avoidance plans for when the cravings hit. I have been exhausted the whole time so have been going to sleep instead of keeping busy.
    I've seen these ladies go through a lot in the past month, but they stuck to their convictions and made it through.

    I am so ridiculously happy for you all!! Please be very proud of yourselves!! I wish you continued success for whatever your next steps or goals might be.


    Love, Me

                  Thank you all, that has certainly set the water works going again.

                  It is so (having trouble finding the right word) pretty damn good being part of such a wonderfully supportive community.

                  Congrats to everyone on their AF days whether it is 1 or 1000 good for you.

                  Thankful, when I come out the other side of this I hope I am as kind, considerate and generally thoughtful a person as you are.

                  Take care

                          I want to say thanks to Thankful for the wonderful recognition of these 3 fabulous success stories, Loppy, Wakeup and Wooflet. Also, thanks to WonderWorld for starting the Sober Living thread. It has been a really fun month of may getting to know everybody who contributed to that thread.

                          I feel somewhat sheepish though, as I was also aiming to have an AF May, and started at the same time as these three lovelies, but woe is me..... I did not succeed. Granted, I had more AF days than drinking days, but still - feeling a bit like a loser, and sometimes I get that old "giving up" feeling. But I am trying not to beat myself up, and if these 3 WINNERS can do it, damm it!! why can't I?!?!? I am going to give it another go, and June 1 is this sunday, so i will make another attempt! Can't see the doctor about the Topa for another couple weeks, so I am going to bite the bullet and go the the walkin clinic where she works, and talk to one of the other doctors there. I want to try it, and by taking the meds, I might (hopefully) be stronger.

                          By the way - I finally caved and bought a piece of cheesecake today, took it to my beau's work and shared it with him as an afternoon snack. Now that I have finally satisfied that need, I can go back to my strict eating plan!

                          Talk to you all again soon!

                            :hijacked: Peanut, please don't be so hard on yourself. I have seen your struggles this past month as well. And like you said, you have more AF days than drinking days. You are not a loser!!! Another's success does not diminish your progress. Please give yourself a little more credit. Remember, that this is not a contest.

                            Yup, June starts a new month. Refocus and figure out what part of the plan does and does not work for you. Tweak the plan for your own needs. You will find your own way out. And we will be here cheering and supporting you every step of the way!!
