    Moo's Plan

    Hello All.

    I hope everyone is going OK.

    This is probably a rather self indulgent post, just to make sure I do not get tonight wrong....final bolster. Feel free to tune out now...this is just to keep me straight and to check in with myself tomorrow...


    ..Saturday nights being the trouble zone if there is going to be one....so the plan.....

    take a couple of extra Kudzus

    listen to the CD which I have not done since last weekend

    do the work which I have planned for this evening (distraction)

    come on here and read a few posts if required

    enjoy my evening with my hubby thereafter ...and get shit kicked out of me on the Wii!!!!

    Why........

    Because I feel so well and positive this week and if I was ever going to beat this it is now.

    If I dont drink and eat rubbish tonight I will hit a new weight low

    I have done lots of exercise this week and eaten really well, so why ruin it?

    If I dont drink I can have a Sunday where I feel good and get things done.


    If I did drink....

    Tomorrow I will feel guity, ashamed, anxious, dissapointed, beaten unworthy, hopeless, sad, hungover to include awful headache, funny tummy, beaty heart..etc etc......

    ...when you put it like that its hard to believe I would ever drink isnt it?

    So there we have it....my reinforcment plan.. I am so excited about filling in 7 alcohol free days on the DRINKTRACKER...I know I will get a real buzz from this......self rant over.



    If anyone read that and is still with me. Whoever you are and whatever your circumstances, I wish you luck, hope love and joy and most of all results...


    HUGS ALWAYS AND THANKS FOR REALLY GETTING ME THINKING AND ADDRESSING ISSUES THIS WEEK...YOU ARE ALL FAB

    MOOOOOO:thanks:

    Hey Moo, that is a great plan. It sounds like you are being the strongest you can be. It's hard to fail with a rock solid plan. You can do this! :cheering:

          I like it! I'd suggest printing your plan, and then as things go well/or not so well you can make notes and adjust it as you evolve in your healthy ways.

          keep up the great work and be well

            Hey Moo,
            Writing down all the negatives was very powerful for me, as you have done here. I too love lots of 0's. They are just so nice and round....

            You previously posted about your paranoia. It isn't necessarily a bad thing, it can also serve as a negative and keep you from drinking.
            My life is better without alcohol, since 9/1/12. My sobriety tool is the list at permalink 236 on the toolbox thread under monthly abstinance.

              Quick update....have put plan into action....it worked an absolute treat.....I did exactly as I said I would and bingo, had a productive and enjoyable evening. Plus tomorrow I will feel well. What a relief!

              SO the 7 P principle works...Proper Preparation Prevents Piss Poor Performance.

              Have just filled out drinktracker and it did feel great.

              Much Love and excitement Moo

                    SATURDAY WEEK 2

                    Hi all...

                    This is yet again a self indulgene, but it worked so well last week, I plan to use the tool again. Whatever works.

                    So, I am 13 days AF and today will be 14. Today being saturday is the potential trouble zone again, but that said with 13 days already done this feels like much less of an issue than it did last week.

                    An additional plus, is that I went out for a meal last night with hubby and parents, where I would usually have had t least one pint beer, probably two and possibly three. I drove and had one diet coke. It was another mini-triumph on the road to learning I can have fun without the source. That is I have discovered the key for me. This process has been and will continue to be a real learning curve for me. As I know I do not have dependency on AL, for me the issues are learnt behaviour over a period of years (habit, a cycle) which needs to be broken and learning that events where I used to drink are still worth going to and will still be fun if I dont drink.

                    So, although I feel great, I am not over confident, that is never a good plan. So to reinforce all my resolve, I plan to repeat last weeks saturday night plan to the letter. Again I am really looking foward to filling in 14 days AF on drink tracker as for me those numbers divisible by 7 are the ones that really count.

                    Over the course of this week, with things progressing so well and me feeling so well, I have already started to think that I will increase the amount of time I am AF. My last drink was 21st February and I had thought then I would do lent and that would be a massive challenge for me. But on reflection, I am thinking now that I will carry on through Easter and onto my husbands birthday (April 17th). This will mean 55 days AF. It still seems like a big target, but I can see that with the progress I have made in two weeks, I will be really getting somewhere by 55 days. I will reassess each week as we go along of course, but at the present moment, this goal seems acheivable and important.

                    Thanks again if anyone read all this.......this post is just for me really. I dont expect anyone else to read it, but I am so grateful to those of you who have and have been so supportive, both on this thread and everywhere else.


                    BIG MOO LOVE:thanks:

                      Moo -- great stuff, well done! I really like the thoughtfulness behind your approach. Your comment about the process continuing to be a learning curve reminded me of something DG said about being a "student of sobriety." Learning is a good thing -- it increases all sorts of opportunities... Here's wishing you a successful Saturday! :h
