    31 little zeros!

    This is just a note about a positive aspect of the site.

    For those of you who dont know me, I am a person who liked to drink too much on a saturday night and although my drinking isnt the end of the world yet, it was showing tendancies that made me uncomfortable and needed addressing.


    Thus I elected to start with an AF period of at least lent and possibly another week, so around 55 days.

    I am currently on day 39 of this, so tomorrow will be a little land mark (40). This is the longest I have gone (5 weekends and counting) without at least some wine for many years. I am so chuffed. There have been a few highs and lows, but in the majority far more positive than negative.

    I wanted to note that I have been filling out the drink tracker religiously which has meant a daily check in here too. I have found it has worked a treat and I have just looked at MARCH and my 31 little zeros and I am sooo proud.

    I thought it was worth a mention that this has really worked for me as a tool, amongst many other things.

    Thanks to anyone here who has helped me through this when needed and I hope I can help others sometimes too.

    Love MOOOO

      Thanks Angel. I hope you get as much out of it as I have. Its a good tool for people who are competitve with themselves as I am. Good luck on tracker.

        MOO .. good going!!!

        Early sobriety brings all kinds of feelings. We count the days, we're proud of ourselves and we finally realise, I can do this. Keep on keeping it up.

                  Thank you for posting your replies. Its always good to know what is working as well as what is not. I know its different for everyone, but I am still singing the praises of the drink tracker!

                          Moo,
                          You rock girlfriend. I just may have to come and see you for a cup of tea one day...ofcourse in the old days I would have been saying a glass of wine.
                          Seriously, don't be surprised if I say I'm coming visiting one day.
                          Congrats!
                          Big ((hugs))

                            Well Done Moo!

                            Good to hear you're still going strong! Thanks for your support on those first Saturday nights. I'm a little behind you on Day 25. I too am keeping a diary - beside my bed and love writing those zeros in. I have just flicked back to the beginning of Feb and then I was regularly on 60+ units a week so I can see how far I've come. The journey continues....

                            Still trying to figure out what to do when I get to 30 Days. Don't want to go back to my old ways for sure BUT would love to have a glass of wine occasionally. Not convinced I am the able to stop at 1 glass though. I never have in the past! My brain thinks wine should be drunk by the bottle not by the glass so I've got to re-educate myself!

                            Enjoy your weekend away!
                            If alcohol made you happy I should be the happiest person alive! I'm not.
