Since i quit on 26th oct 2009, there has been a long string of ?stuff? that i have strugled/enjoyed sober.
Feel free to add yours to the list.
1.A weekend sober...the first one in 20years.
2.My baby sister got maried, and i didnt drink to fit in or dull the pain( he is a tool, but what could i do?)
3.A Birthday cocktail party at my house for my lovly woman. This was the first ?party? i have ever seen the decline of peoples conversations or ballance (for that matter)due to imbibing the BEAST. Enlightening :H
4.Christmas, my usual plan is smahs a few vodkas early, visit some fam, then smahs a slab of beer with bed to follow. This time i had a gr8 day, watched my boy with his first christmas pressies, visited all the diff family without a care of where the RBT?s where and if i was over the limet.
5. Saw out new years, first time sober at midnight on ANY day of the year for a verry long time.
6.was sober and clear for the birth of my second child, my beautifull daughter Karissa. I cut the cord, and was some little help to her incredible mum.
7. got throught the first 3months of life with two bubs, one feeding 3hrly, one teething.
8. started AA meetings, i never would have whilst drinking, crazy maybe, but true.
9.I just took my lady to seaword for a suprise night away, the kids were sat, we woke and did the dolphin/seal/shark tour, was nice and i didnt have a drink the whole time, no looking for a sneaky, just a gr8 time for her.
10.I have racked up a year sober, with no intention of quitting quitting...
I have a theory about me and AL. I think I am alergic to AL, my symptoms are incredible cravings for more AL,
With reducing time between ?waves? of cravings, such that at my stage of alergy, one drink and i am back to full blown drinking. This is unacceptable to me for my health or the good raising of my children and as such will not happen.
Thanx for reading my prattle...
