    Feeling proud of myself!

    Hi, I know this is kind of selfish but I am feeling proud of myself tonight. I am on day 11 and tonight my hubby had to go into work. Generally when he has to go into work and my daughter is at her dads (like tonight) that is when it is free reign for me to drink all night long. Instead I had a gingerale with some limes, read a book, talked to some friends and am now getting ready to go to bed.............SOBER!!!!

    I am over any physical craving now I know so it's going to be the mental game moving forward. It's funny though, this time I am getting to a point where I am scared of AL. I am scared of it's power, scared of what it does to me, scared of how I would feel the next day, scared of all I have to lose if I continue to succumb to the power it used to have over me. I refuse to give some liquid that type of power over me anymore. I kind of like being scared of it now. It keeps me focused.

    anyway, that's my story for tonight!

    See you all tomorrow, I will be bright eyed and bushy tailed!

    Every day is a day to start over and remember that I am powerless over my addiction. I will no longer give the BEAST any power over me - he can go straight to hell.

            Good for you Universal,
            Sounds like you are winning that mental game if you are at the point that you are scared of booze and don't want to go near it. Don't give away your power to it.
            You are doing so well.
            I bet you will wake up and feel so happy that you have another AF day under your belt....another day that booze didn't rob you of your time, dignity, health and confidence.
            Good for you!!

                  Uni - not at all selfish. Congrats on being AF for 11 days. You should be very proud of yourself. :goodjob: In this case, being scared is good. AL is one strong bugger. Can have a skinny woman or a big hefty man on their knees with just the slightest move of a hand. One drink and they're begging him for more. Be scared. As you say, it helps keep you focused. Be strong....Stirly :huggy

                        Hi Universal,

                        That is one awesome feat you have just accomplished. I think AL should be the one scared. He does not like it when we ignore him. So a big CONGRATS to you !!

                          universal - 11 AF days is a very important step. I can remember when I had my first 11 AF days. It is an incredible feeling. And you can be proud of yourself. WELL DONE

                              You have every reason to be proud Universal. We need to praise ourselves when we succeed, this is not an easy journey so every step forward is a huge accomplishment, we need to remember that. Way to go!!!!!!!!!!
