    Hit Stage Two, Starting Day ONE

    itsmytime;1329533 wrote: I'm back as well Tipperlette,

    Had a bingeing weekend and just starting to feel ok 3 days later. I have my quit date in mind, reading Jason Vale's book right now and continuing as he says until my date. I drink on the weekends and not sure if I will this weekend but June 17th is my date. I am excited to gat back to sober living. It really does ROCK.

    Let's keep coming here and beat this beast.

    IMT
    It's My Time, lets beat this together. I need a buddy whose at the beginning of her/his final, but successful walk along the path of sobriety. I love being sober and hate everything that surrounds drinking. By continuing to drink we are saying goodbye to conscious, full living. What a sacrifice we have made for the sake of a little escapism.

    jump on the bandwagon whenever you're ready. I'll be here waiting for you.

      Hey Tipps, great to see you back! I remember a time when you, Unwasted and I were all at a similar place....we have all moved at a different pace but all in the same direction. I know from how you think and your great spiritual side that you will make it....
      Where you live sounds wonderful. Nature and being in the 'now' are to me, an important part of this journey and you have that on your doorstep; make the most of your early mornings with what is outside your door.
      I remember we had all read Jason Vale's book back then - what about giving him another read to get you a little more resolve?
      The wonderful person that you know you are is bursting to come out and be your friend.....trust and believe.....you can do it.
      IT'S NEVER TOO LATE TO BE WHAT YOU MIGHT HAVE BEEN
      Relapse starts long before the drink is drunk!!.Fresh Start!

                Tipperelette: Deb, I sounds like your "ready", I was at the point the first of the year. I had to take the attitude "I can bore through 10 feet of concrete with a ice pick if I need to". Theres a lot of support Unwasted has some good advice. Having a cabin is great we have one also, when I go up theres always projects that need to be done, things to do hike, fish, whatever, I have also I have also have learned to relax and I always sleep well there. This used to be my party place. I think sometimes our alcoholic brain tells us let buy this boat, vacation, cabin, new skis so we have a good reason or place to drink. Theres so much to enjoy with a clear head.

                  Wine Wrangler, the lake house is a place where family and friends are welcome and many of them drink heavily but some of them just have a beer now and again. I, up until now was the one opening up the bottle of wine at 3pm an offering it all round. Then, I would be so tired and lethargic, the swim wouldn't happen, the fishing would be postponed and I would throw a meal together and half-heartedly clean up only to wake up to the mess the next morning. You know what I mean. Even having a beer on the dock in the afternoon was ruined by the way it slowed me down.

                  Now, I am FREE. As Jason Vale's book implies, I am the lucky one.

                  Thanks

                    Found some great drinks on the internet. bought some nice organic juices and am mixing them with soda or tonic.

                    Against the advice of some, I also bought PC Blonde non alc beer for an afternoon treat. I am not a regular beer drinker so this is not going to be a detrimental habit.

                    The way I've been feeling the past few mornings is astounding, amazing and invigorating.

                    Sober sex is the best, too.

                      I joined MWO in June 2009 and finally quit in June 2012. That's three years of half-assed, back-sliding, self-destructive behaviour.

                      The madness has ended.

                          Why don't you try it and if you have bad withdrawels, you can always have a glass or two. I am NOT an expert; just a struggling abstainer. I would love to do this with you if you are willing to take the first step.

                              Oh Good you're in and sadly, I am glad that you are early on in your days A/F too. I was going to say that misery loves company but I am feeling anything but miserable. Let's not fall back into the trap of making excuses for 'just one drink'. There is no benefit whatsoever to having it and a multitude of benefits to not having it including starting back at damn day one again.

                              We will consider ourselves luckier, wiser and happier than our drinking friends and family without being smug of course. Let's surf the urges and boot booze to the curb. When the witching hour or the lying voice in our head rears their ugly heads, we will get on this forum and read the posts that inspire us.

                              Fantastic now I have a new A/F buddy.

                                Not only is that the first step but a HUGE step. It is a sign that you are commited. Commitment is everything as they all say on here.

                                Very proud of you.
