LET'S DO 30 DAYS!!!!

Well my hubby bought beer for him AND ME last nite. I was soo disappointed. I don't know why I wasn't pissed. He was saying how work had been so horrid and he was in a foul mood and I could tell if I said anything he was going to get defensive and pick a fight. So I simply said if we are going to build a garage on our property to move into then a house we will need to save all the money we can. I thought keeping it to the money aspect would be less personally challenging.

I only drank 3! That's pretty damn good considering I'm a 12+ drinker normally. I also intend to tell Joe to drink the rest of mine tonite and NOT to buy me anymore.

Yes I wish I hadn't drank any but I am not going to beat myself up for it. I hadn't planned it and there will be bumps in the road. My problem in the past is when I hit one of the bumps before, be it a birthday, out of town guests, what have u, I'd throw in the towel and go months drinking heavily w/o trying to stop or slow down. So I am trying to deal with faltering then carrying on....which is really how real life is and how I really need to cope in the long run.

Good Morning Hart - that is okay - we all hit the bumps - as long as we recognize them as bumps and then carry on - good for you only having three when your normal as far more. I too, told Hubs not to buy any Guinness for me (the only thing more or less that I drink) and he hasn't - I would have been cross if he had. So I understand. anyway, it is back on the horse - when you consider how long it took us to get to where we are today, I really don't think a day or two or three makes much difference in the long run - as long as we keep trying. So hang in there and keep trying. Hugs to you,

WELCOME BLUES! HI DRIFTY! Oh - confession time. I am sitting here nursing a Guinness. Premeditated. Planned. Thought out. Will just have two. Honest! Back to day one tomorrow. I feel fine with this though folks and don't feel bad about it at all. I modded for ages and it was only when it went up to three then four that I decided I had to stop. Not sure if I am fooling myself but anyhow here I am. Sorry if any of you feel i am letting the side down - or myself, but I really do feel fine with it.

Hugs, sun X

LET'S DO 30 DAYS!!!!

Today I felt well enough to go for a walk (and the weather was nice). I was going to walk to Save a lot (a grocery store that has cheap stuff) and right beside it is a restaurant/bar. I had an urge to go in there for a beer. I thought to myself, I only have enough for 1 beer, its not like I am going to get drunk. But I then thought NODE-Not One Drink Ever (just like NOPE-Not One Puff Ever) and didn't go in. Now I have my chocolate milk (which I wouldn't have been able to get if I caved in) and I am grateful to be able to continue my af journey with Day 7 tomorrow and not Day 1.

This is the end of day 10 for me. Good job on passing up that beer Drifty. I havn't had any really strong urges yet, but they like to sneak up on me when I'm least expecting it. I'm on here first thing in the morning and last thing at night hoping that will help me stay rational and in a sober state of mind. Tommorow is a trigger day for me. I have to work, and I'm a bartender.
