    Never quit trying

    Hi All,

    Haven't posted or even lurked for about a week. Drank last night. Ughhhh. I have been doing very well, surfing the cravings waves, keeping busy, eating on time. But last night I just didn't even try. Put the blinders up eventhough a much bigger part of my brain was saying "this is not a good idea". I have beaten down The Beast's voice over the past month but I gave him a listen. Must shut him out for good.

    I received the Vale "Kick the Drink" book last week and just started reading it. I like the way he writes, it is really making me look at AL differently. Eventhough last night I failed.

    So back to day one. Alcohol does absolutely nothing good for me. Poison never does.

      Meech , So glad you shared.... I know the feeling of putting blinders on and not even attempting to listen to the logical voice in your brain, you just shut it down. It's like something takes over and you simply refuse to stop and regroup.... the urge just takes over. (by "you" I mean all of us) But that's what we have to keep doing. You have been doing so well and you will continue to. Keep posting and lurking. Much luck, Peace

            Hey Meech,

            I am so glad to see you here. I can not begin to tell you how many times I have started over, because I have no idea how many it is, and I don't care. The thing is you are doing a wonderful job in fighting this and recognizing what works for you and what doesn't. The important thing is not how many times we start day one, it that we are still fighting and still learning from the days that wicked voice gets the better of us. Your times of AFness are getting greater and the booze brain is getting smaller. Keep posting and never give up. You are a fighter I know it and I know you will NEVER quit trying.

                Meech ~

                I wondered where you'd got to.

                Most important thing in the world is never give up on giving up. You can do this,hun.

                Remember the best thing of the day that you told me, is laying your sober head on the pillow at night. Something I've never forgotten and I often think of with a wee smile as I go to sleep.

                So keep posting, keep reading and check in when that devil is sitting on your shoulder and give a shout out.

                  Meech--us Canadians can be pretty private. Don't let anyone or anything stop you from going for your goals. Keep coming back and remember why you do.
                  Psalms 119:45

                  I'm not perfect, never will be, but better than I was and not as good as I'm going to be.

                    GET UP!
                    I know you're doing this and can beat it by persevering. Hang in there and remember, better days ahead.

                    What might have been is an abstraction
                    Remaining a perpetual possibility
                    Only in a world of speculation.
                    What might have been and what has been

                        Hello All,

                        Thank you all for your encouragement and never ending support!

                        JC - I rested my sober head on my pillow last night and it felt - FANTASTIC!
                        Will definitely be doing that again tonight.

                        Windy - Sorry I didn't make it the 100 days with you. I must admit the Beast voice in my head is definitely much weaker - eventhough I listen to the little Bas&*st!rd the other night. It's a slow battle but I think I am gaining.

                        LF Peace - I shall keep posting and lurking. And I will try to keep those blinders off. Hope you are doing well. Read your thread. I'm reading Kick the drink and it is effective...perhaps not the only piece to the puzzle as you have observed. I think that all the tools have to come together (books, MYO, toolbox, reading through threads and communitcating here at MYO AND SELF-DISCOVERY and learning through this journey to sobriety).

                        Mama, RingingC, Mish, Mario, Merry thanks for you inspirational words.

                        Looking forward to another sober day of happiness and a clear mind.

                        Meechy

                          Heya meech, no one to judge you here, we have ALL been there done that. Just put that 100 day goal back in your sights, and go get it! We will all be here cheering you on.....but I aint wearing no mini skirt or saddle shoes.

                          Ive been hatching this plan in my head all day, I wanted to call it the Nelz seal of approval, so if you dont mind, Id like to let you be the first to earn it. Hope this isnt too cheesy, I plan on using it some more.

                              We have all tried and failed, I am certainly not an exception but I will not stop fighting the good fight, no matter what! I am worth it and so are you!
                              You always succeed if you never stop trying.
                              Everyday we choose the direction of change.
