Well here it is day 43 in my af journey and I didn't drink last night and I was grateful for it this morning when I awoke hangover free. I remember too many hungover mornings and they wasn't fun. And thinking of hangovers has helped me to get to where I am today.I am still sick and tired of having hangovers and I am still sick and tired of having AL in my life so I will have neither forever. However I am not going to look as it as forever. I am going to look at it a day at a time.

I quit drinking on March 8, 2020. Taking it One Day At A Time and no more taking my quit for granted.
Also doing it for me. I got to stay sober for me.
Just consecrate on today and do what you can to remain sober for today and worry about staying sober tomorrow, tomorrow. -
Day 43
Great job Drifty. That's exactly how I think of it too, one day at a time. If I think too long term it is too overwhelming. I can do anything for a day. Isn't it wonderful to live without AL and the effects? There is no morning that I wake up and wish I would have had a drink the night before. When the occasional thought pops into my head about how good a drink would be I just rephrase it and think how horrible that drink would make me feel. I also never want to start over at day one and I would make myself do that if I would drink. I am almost to 4 months and sometimes that seems like nothing and other times it feels like eternity. That's when I have to go back to thinking ODAT, all we have is today and today I will not drink!AL free since March 17th 2011...loving this life. No drinking no matter what.
Hi my name is Lori and i am so happy to be here.
