Took my pill today just like normal. Just need to keep it up. This morning I replayed how awful I would feel if I drank....mentally & physically and then swallowed that pill before that picture could get out of my head. :H Whatever works, right???

Have a wonderful day everyone!!!

Nora, I think remembering how horrible alcohol makes us feel is absolutely critical to staying sober. So, good job!

ML - thanks for the info about the CDs. I sleep so wonderfully these days - it's my very most amazing transformation after quitting alcohol!

Ginger, Mama, Bird (SL - glad you're getting something from this thread - just keep going - you won't regret it).........

Oh, thanks guys for the congrats!

UW - Day 100 is awesome! I'm so proud of you :l Thanks for being such a strong support person around here, your advice is wise and kind. You rock girlfriend!

I popped my AB pill this morning too. That seems to be a theme around here these days. I don't even think about it anymore. I just take it. I was thinking about my drinking last night and I literally groaned out loud, just thinking of all the time wasted, sitting in the corner of the couch, pouring beer down my throat. It wasn't even FUN for me. I can understand other people who associate it with a social occasion saying they miss it. But what was I doing? Sitting alone getting drunk...how could anyone even want to do that? But I sure did it for years! So glad not to be that bump on the couch anymore. Yeah, I'm still a bump sometimes, but I'm a sober bump now. LOL When I fall asleep on the couch now it's cuz I'm tired, not cuz I'm wasted!

Did anyone watch Intervention last night? They featured 2 young people, one was alcohol/marijuana and the other was bath salts. I heard that's the "new" drug...bath salts. Apparently they crush them up and snort them like cocaine, and they cause serious psychotic effects...the kid was hallucinating that there were dead bodies around him. Yikes. Now that is scary. And you can apparently buy these bath salts anywhere, for cheap.

Well one more week of February, then we can head on into a sober March! Hope you're all well and staying strong!

K9, thank you for the accolades. Believe me, the feeling is mutual. I just posted to you on the Newbie's Nest. I think you really help people here and so admire you for not giving up!

I haven't watched Intervention, but have it taped. Bath salts......jeesh.......and I thought spray cans were bad. You know, it really makes you think that prevention with kids is a must. Somehow they have to be taught before they get into these messes so they won't ruin their bodies before they know what they're doing! Scary.

bath salts...are you kidding me??

Thanks Mama! I know, can you believe it...........why do humans have such a desire to numb out? It's so scary with kids since they think they're invincible!

Hi Again Guys -

K9 - Bath salts???!! And I can completely relate to sitting ALONE getting drunk. That was really my favorite at the end for some reason. GROSS!! It's frightening to think that AL can get into our brains and make us think that is fun.

Yes, AB seems to be the theme - at least it is for me these days!

Let's all rock on to 100 days like Unwasted. :goodjob:

Bath Salts Drugs: Problems, Ingredients, Dangers, and More

Apparently they're not the everyday bath salts that we first think of. I know they sell them at Smoke shops and convenience stores. Still really weird.

That is weird about the salts. I wonder how people think this stuff up? I remeber when I was a kid a classmate died from sniffing Pam cooking spray...or doing something with it..Congrats UW on the hundred days!! And what an inspirational post...yes we all seem to be ABing here dont we??

This could be ABC...AntaBuseClub...lol
Although everyone is welcome

Mylife - I can't believe how excited I would be to get home to drink. I'd do so much rushing around (gathering all my supplies: beer, cigarettes, a pizza for the kid so I wouldn't have to make dinner...) and then I'd pop open the beer, head outside for a smoke, and then sit there thinking "Well, here's what I couldn't wait for"...and it would be so boring! Of course after 5-6 beers I'd start coming up with all kinds of things to do, groom the dogs (skin them alive, I should say...ouch), rake the lawn in the rain, unclog the bathroom drain but neglect to put a bowl under the pipe to catch the water, hang pictures, rearrange the furniture...the list goes on and on. I never knew what I was going to wake up to in the morning! My lord, it would be pretty funny if it weren't so pathetic! Let me just tell you that I have a Cocker Spaniel that was mad at me for months, and I don't blame him, he had the most "interesting" hair do I've ever seen. LOL

LOL, K9. Oh, your poor pup.

I spent three hours waiting at the DMV today. I hate that place. I went shopping and came home to four unexpected guests and a son with car problems. I'll be happy to crawl into bed now and happy to wake up without a hangover, again.

Have a good night everyone.

It's a good thing I was not drinking last night. I had a house full of people to deal with and was up until past 10:00 trying to get my kid's family safely home. It is nice to be able to be there when I'm needed. If I was still drinking, I wouldn't have been able to do that.

Hope everyone has a sober day today, whether it's good, bad or just blah.
