Good morning! It is so nice to see so many people committed to this 100 day conquest! Day 2 for me and it is going to be a great day! I didn't get much sleep last night, so long day, but I'm going to try to accomplish alot today at a steady pace. I've been known to overdo and that is one of my many weaknesses, so I am going to rest when I get tired and not try to accomplish my long list of things to do everyday because it's not going to matter. I've got to stop setting unrealistic goals and lists and just take one day at a time, to enjoy the day, accomplish a little and love a lot! Spuddleduck, I am SO THANKFUL to see you here! We were all so worried about you. I crashed and burned all weekend, too, but today is a brand new day! I choose to be happy! I choose not to drink! Miss Behaving, we will all try to check on you first thing in the morning to help you get through your night. Thank all of you oldies for joining in just to encourage us! What a beautiful thing to do! I want to get stronger so I can help others. God always brings good from the pain we suffer, because we are better equiped to help others, so our pain and struggles will have a worthy purpose. I hope each and every one of you have a GREAT day! Love all, Vicki

A beautiful poem that someone very special sent to me this morning.....

Don't Quit

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and its turns,
As everyone of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about
When they might have won, had they stuck it out.
Don't give up though the pace seems slow,
You may succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than,
It seems to a faint and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up
When he might have captured the victor's cup;
And he learned too late when the night came down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit,
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit!

Thanksgiving - what a lovely idea and so appropriate! I heard a woman at AA say she was told to do this every day, even if she didn't feel it - a small prayer of gratitude and for sobriety every morning when she wake ups, and gratitude for sobriety at the end of the day. By doing it became real and is now a very meaningful part of her life.

I love NC's analogy to the soldiers and how they get through that every day. When she speaks of Jesus helping you through, I imagine him holding his hand out out to you whenever it all seems too much, you taking his hand and getting courage to walk another step forward. All you have to do is reach out to hold that hand, as tight as you need to. A step at a time. Baby steps, one foot in front of the other, every time. One day at a time, one hour, or one minute at a time. It does work.

I too am rooting for the Thanksgiving gang! :h

Morning all. And a beautiful one it is too!

Sorry I dont have time to acknowledge everyone ..... have a ton of work to plough through this morning. This afternoon I will go for a swim ....... which will make me feel virtuous and help me later in the evening when the thoughts of wine creep in! Then going to pick my wee kamakaze cat from the vet. Will tell you story about her a bit later.

Its a good day for us all to experience success!

WOW... Dancelot, what an encourager you are and thank you for being here and sharing your beautiful spirit and the success of going a whole year without a drink! Please tell us how wonderful it is! I love your story about taking baby steps and clinging to Jesus' hand when we don't think we can make it. And yes, we should always be thankful and give God the glory continuously for our many blessings and we should acknowledge this disease, but give it no power over us! WE CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST THAT STRENGTHENS US I look forward to hearing more from you, Dancelot. Thank you for being here! Thank you, Grateful and all of you that have conquered this but still stick around to encourage those who are struggling! Bless each and every one of you! Pray for NC, she is in bad pain and is going to the dentist tomorrow. Love you all, Vicki
