    July 1 group. How is everyone?

    Hiya!

    I had a hellish day yesterday from the afternoon onwards wishing I had a drink. Hubby can in at 7.30pm from work, refused to let me have one and stuck to it, mind you it was nice to log a sober day into my drink tracker and I am glad this morning!

    Hoping to get a firm foot on the ground with Al.

    Love to all

      Morning all !!

      :clapclap: HAPPY 1 WEEK ANNIVERSARY !!:clapclap:

      Hope all is well with everyone. I'm feeling positive and energised this morning. This time last week I was feeling so low about having to start all over again :egad: But I'm soo glad I jumped back on board with you guys and a week later I am reminded of why I am doing this.

      I really feel a different person when not consumed with guilt, deciept, shame and general yuckiness.

      I have a alcohol abuse group meeting tonight and am looking forward to sharing my week with them. Its a nice feeling to be proud of your behavior as opposed to ashamed We're also having acupunture - a first for me, so looking forward to trying it.

      I hope your all feeling good, whether your marker is a week - a day - an hour. Together we will woop this beasts ass!! OK!

      Have a fab day my lovelies x

      Nics :l

                    Hey guys, Two things I wanted to share that I had never thought of before. Learned them last night from a friend who quit drinking 3 years ago. 1)Expressed my desire to have a glass of wine every once in a while to relax, to help with stress. He pointed out that that would be fine if I could stop at one which I can't do. Anything more than that puts the body in a state of stress having to deal with too much alcohol in the system. Only way to de-stress is to have more alcohol and the cycle starts over. This seems so obvious but truly, I never really thought of it that way. I always knew alcohol was a depressant but never figured it was the CAUSE of my stress. 2)Told him something I would truly miss would be on Saturday evenings, after working in my garden, I loved to shower, dress, put on some Frank Sinatra, pour a glass of wine and go out into the garden to enjoy the fruits of my labor. My friend pointed out that we have our rituals for our alcohol and it is important to figure out another ritual which will give the same satisfaction. Not sure how to change the garden ritual but am thinking maybe I will take dance lessons to get my fill of Frank.

                          Having no withdrawal symptoms so am thinking maybe its a mind addiction.. If that makes sence lol

                              Morning all!

                              Browneyz - it's all about distraction, *whispers* I even took up knitting - to hilarious effect. The Yoga class last night was gruelling - tough, sweaty, but well worth it the teacher told me I was doing well, which is probably because I'll have a go at anything, even when I know that I'm never going to get into one of the poses that look like twister I do my best and paste a smile on my face! I expected to be sore this am, but am ok so far.
                              Mr Sweats is away for a couple of days which is great as he's a bit of a trigger for me (disastrous I know), but I shouldbe fully into the AF groove by the time he gets back........
                              Limers- get some tunes on and do some mad dancing - the kids will either join in or retreat in horror....

                              New - Fridays are my nemesis. I like to sit on the Terrace and watch the Sun go down with some AL, as that signals the start of the weekend. Sometimes I'll have an AF beer, sometimes just a special expensive juice.

                              Happy Wednesday all,

                              Bets
