    NEW THREAD FOR THOSE ON THE FIRST FEW DAYS A/F

    I have Jason Vales book and have read at it...now I am going to discipline myself and read it daily...I know there is strength in it. I know there is strength in me...I have had to be very stong, at certain points in my life....now more than ever, I need to find my strength. Day 1 is a beginning.
    Yesterday is experience, tomorrow is hope... today is getting from one to the other.

          Hi Paula! I have the Jason Vale book but haven't read it yet. Guess I'll pull that out & get started on it.

                Great to see you FA.

                Keep up the fantastic work Tip. You just keep getting back up and on with it don't you. This is the sort of winning attitude that takes us to freedom from the chains, and a life of wonder and treasure. :goodjob:

                  That is better than saying "You just keep setting goals and failing at them Tip". Your optimism is inspiring.

                  I feel strong but I've been there, done that and could write the book; in fact, if (no, I mean WHEN) I beat the beast I think I will.

                  Jason Vale will change your thinking completely. Really.

                  If I start sliding I want to get my plentiful butt kicked bad. Looks like I've got the whole army of butt kickers here on this thread. It's reassuring, yet a little terrifying at the same time. LOL.

                  Day three witching hour over, ate spaghetti which normally screams for a bottle of red. The damn recipe I was using actually called for it. We have none in the house and hubby was going for a spice I was missing; I twice stopped myself from asking him to pick up a bottle for the recipe... safe decision I believe although I was not tempted. I know myself though and the no willpower thing was fresh in my mind.

                  Happy Evening folks.

                    Well... I didn't make it thru the day...I had some red to feel better from abusing the white last night. But I didn't over do it... So I know tomorrow will be a much better day to refrain from any AL. Sorry to disappoint anyone and mostly sorry to myself but I drank so much yesterday that I was a bit panicky today. I am sober... hydrated and ready for a good night sleep tonight and a much better tomorrow.

                            Hey RQueen, great you are still here and up for the good fight. The hair of the dog that bit you can be a tempting thing at times. Jump back on the bandwagon and please stick around. We need you here. You're part of the "June Dream Team". Keep changing the name but it's the same theme... LOL

                            Day one and back at it, eh my friend!! Sure beats burying your head in the sand and giving up.

                              Welcome Paula, glad to have you on board. We can do this together. I am going to download Rational Recovery on my kindle today. Thanks for the reminder.

                                Ronnie, I'm with you all the way. Weekends are a big trigger for me and this weekend will be tough. We are having company up at the lake house and that's where the booze usually flows.

                                I have lots of non-alcoholic drinks stashed in the bar fridge up there and this nice blue wine glass where nosy people can't see what's in it... LOL... everyone loves to encourage me to join them.

                                I have internet up there so I'll "see" you on here and hang on to you for dear life if I get tempted. I expect you to do the same. If we can beat booze this weekend, it's a huge start and we may even get some accolades from our peers on here... love that idea...LOL.

                                We leave for the lake tonight. Wish me luck. No, not luck, wish me strength; luck has nothing to do with it. Duh.
