Found My Old Friend, But....

I'm so happy for you AA & Rocky!!


That's awesome!

My pitfall in the past has been achieving many AF days only to find a bottle screaming DRINK ME. Almost like Alice in Wonderland!

Pouring it out would be like throwing my best friend out the door. I depended on it for so long that when I did find a bottle it was like IT was saying "you've done such a great job being AF-here's a reward". Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

Oy...the tricky little beast:alf:

AA, I think that is wonderful! I love vodaka also, that was a hard thing to do pouring it out.I'm proud of you I probably would have drank it with the pressure of a Superbowl party on me. That is funny that I said that because I am an event planner. I can do it for someonelse but put way to much pressure when it's my own. But I know the tempatation. I started keeping a journal and everytime I feel the need to drink, I make an entry as to what happened how I feel and why I want it. Also, I know this is going to sound weird,but it works for me. When you have the urge to drink use the hand that is not dominate for your(for me my left since I am a rightie) and write" I want a drink" or any other thought associated with your wanting a drink over and over again. 5 times does it for me. It was been said that makes the opposite side of your brain and subconscience kick into gear. It works for me.
Once again proud of you

Well done Rocky. I'd like to think that I could have refused for that length of time, somehow, I doubt it.
