Good morn, Army!

Day 6 for me and counting..you all sound great. I really look forward to visiting with you all here .

My daughters basketball coach gave them some points about what it takes to be a winner and I thought I would share them here with you. They seem to fit with our plan.

1. To be consistent rather than occasional
2. To go through a problem rather than around it
3. To get something out of all situations rather than complain
4. To do more rather than enough or less
5. To share with and help others
6. To think about solutions rather than worry about the problem
7. To accept adversity as part of the game of life
8. To think and act positively
9. To make a commitment
10 To think: I CAN, I WANT TO, I WILL.

There is a winner in all of us.

We can beat the beast.

Your ST. J

Good morning Army!

Starts, that was a GREAT cost-benefit analysis (CBA)! I wonder whether (or not) the items you have listed under "benefits" will ever change? I have noticed that DG's CBA keeps changing, as she realizes that the things she thought were benefits, really were not... In my own CBA, the only benefits that I have listed are: First, the very brief feeling of pleasure after the first 2 drinks, and before the third; and, second, fitting in with others who are drinking. But that last one is brief, too, actually. If they are light or moderate drinkers, I am only appearing to fit in, during the first drink (and usually I'd had a couple of drinks before even meeting up with them); and after that, I was always drinking faster and wanting more... And if they were drunks... then, who wants to "fit in" with them????

AK Mom I'm so glad you are back here and posting! I love the avatar, and I have to ask: how can it be foggy when it is 40 degrees below zero? Seems like the fog itself would be frozen... Come over and post on the AF daily thread, too, OK? It's gotten a lot livelier lately...

I hope everyone here has a great day!

hi all -
I am thinking of maybe hanging out here a bit...have been needing some extra help lately -
St John, I really like that. That seems to apply to all areas of life, and as I am feeling a bit adrift I am going to write that down...

Thanks Oney! And, I agree... that list is SO applicable to getting free from alcohol, St. John! Very good!

And welcome SJ, great post!

Hi Wippy, I think I will probably always see them as "benefits" maybe..but the costs will ALWAYS FAR outweigh the benefits

I need a bit of inspiration as I have drifted. I am going to go work out in a few minutes, and that is a big boost. I was surprised, actually.
