As you say yourself RC - thank fook for that!!!

I said on another thread recently that I'd be sooooo disappointed in myself if I had to tell you all I'd stuck my head in a bucket of grog and gulped!! AND, that is exactly what I would do.... Me drinking is NOT a pretty sight and it is good to know exactly the reality of ME when I drink. The fantasy can sometimes seem soooo inviting!

MWAH

I reckon we've all had some unsightly drinking days to reference Nicey, else we wouldn't be here. Know thyself is definitely key. Skype has a kissy icon, I'd send ya one if it was here.

Ditto re the icons, I need some more icony thingies!

It is a pity that getting know oneself takes such a looooonnngggg time -:H

It is almost time for me to say - I did NOT drink yesterday!!!

I did not drink yesterday. This is the beginning of Day 6. The affirmations I am carrying on my person are really helping me. My daughter and her boyfriend came over yesterday and it was their day off. They had a couple of cocktails and I had ice water with lemon. They left shortly after probably because the "party" atmosphere was not here. I started baking some healthy almond butter granola things and I felt so good. No cravings. I posted the affirmations in the Toolbox.

I cut each affirmation out and put them in a box. Each day now, I grab one, meditate on it and carry it with me all day (tucked into my clothes so I have it everywhere I go) and into the night. Anytime I have the thought to drink, I pull it out and read it. It has helped me get through my first 6 days AF.

Rose, you will start to love yourself again when you decide that enough is enough. Keep coming here every day to read and get support. It's the first thing I'm doing every day and it's amazing how I now wake up and it's straight to MWO. I used to repeat a saying that I heard, "Nothing tastes as good as thin feels". Now I'm saying, "No drink is worth the dark place it takes me the next day":exclamation:

Won't be here tomorrow. It's a conscious, controlled decision to celebrate with a bit of wine gifted to me. In no way will it "trigger" any wild desires to return to past behaviours. Appreciation of sobriety, my free will and enjoyment of same pre-empts it. Go well my friends.:h

faithful, I read through your affirmations - what a wonderful list...and a great idea. I'm so happy that it's working for you - and will most likely help others.

I did not drink yesterday...I've been sober over a week now Starting Day 8! Last night was the first night in this last week that I felt a craving. It went away as fast as it came just as others have said. Thank you for all the support here!
