Hi. I have not had a drink since Sunday...4 clear days. At my most difficult time...4pm til about 7pm..I have made myself really busy and active. Its been fantastic waking up in the morning and remembering that i didnt drink the day before. Ive written down my pros and cons of drinking. I have 1 pro and 15 cons....what does that say! Anyway, its not been too hard this week but im a bit scared thinking of the looming weekend...ah well, stay srong everyone and remember how clearer, happier life can be without alcohol. Ive been cheery all week for a change...Have a good weekend. Bella XXXX

Hi Bella,
Bloody well done
That's really great and I'm so pleased for you.
The best advice I can offer is to keep yourself as busy as you can over the weekend and try and make it something you enjoy; even something new that you haven't done before. There's so much fun to be had without resorting to AL -

Hi Bella, well done not drinking since sunday, I'm at about the same stage as you, I hav'nt had a drink since sat, it does feel so much better without the al does'nt it, i've been keeping myself busy gardening mostly for the last couple of days, were in for more rain rain over the weekend,{I'm in Australia}, so I'm already planning to do some sewing, it helps me if I keep myself busy with things I enjoy, hope you have a great weekend, and all the very best to you Lilly x

day 3 for me, the weekend is going to be so tough, a little voice keeps telling me to reward my self with a couple of glasses as I have done so well, wish it would shut up, still waking up with a headache tho , really annoying, kind of think I might as well drink then if I feel like this anyway.Comment

That is awesome news Bella! I love your strategy of planning lots of activity during your most witching hours. If the weekend is one big witching hour, then plan lots of fun stuff to do that doesn't involve AL. You can do it! I love the upbeat sound of your post.
