    One Step at a Time - October 2012

    Hello everyone. Here we are in October already.

    This thread is for everyone that is trying to take it One Step at a Time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Please join us here to give support and get support. :welcome:



    (This is a picture of my very first tattoo that I got at age 53. This has helped me get more & more AF days. I'm not completely AF but I am getting closer & closer to where I want to be and I am happier with the person I am and the person I am becoming.)

      I am in. There are still those moments when cravings hit. But I take it one step at a time. They are getting further apart and weaker now. I am here more for supporting others, but I must not forget where I came from and then get too cocky and then puff go right back to drinking. So here to having the month of October to being another AF month.
      I quit drinking on March 8, 2020. Taking it One Day At A Time and no more taking my quit for granted.

      Also doing it for me. I got to stay sober for me.

      Just consecrate on today and do what you can to remain sober for today and worry about staying sober tomorrow, tomorrow.

        Well - off to bed for me. Catch you all tomorrow. :wavin:

          Hello Nora and everyone, Its very much ODAT for me. I can usually manage 4/5 days a week af but weekends are the worst. Still, i have gone from drinking heavily everynight to Frid and Sat only. My aim though is to stop completely. I could easily slip back to my old habits of daily guzzling wine!! Thanks again

                October greetings to all!

                Alison, glad to have you here with your experience. I remember your drifting between the af and moderator worlds. After my first few months on this site I mostly hung out with the mods group, then monthly abs trying to gain their inspiration to become af. Many months I didn't post much at all until I joined this thread.

                Quest and Boozer, welcome to you as well. We need a bigger group here.

                I'm still on vacation in Cape Cod for this entire week. The weather reports sound much better than yesterday's allday rain. We did go out for our seafood fix, and my hubby picked up a brochure for a folksingers performance to attend, which was fun. Today will be biking and maybe also visiting a botanical garden or nature center.

                The dog got me up a few minutes ago, at 4:30 am, so here I am. Spoiled dog alert: we didn't think about bringing her heated dog blanket, but she sleeps longer in cool weather when she has it.
                My life is better without alcohol, since 9/1/12. My sobriety tool is the list at permalink 236 on the toolbox thread under monthly abstinance.

                    I am in and enthusiastic. it`s a lovely morning by the lake. We are stranded here as our vehicle broke down. So no work today or at least until we get it fixed. Sun rising beautifully.

                    Day 5 for me.. from now til`infinity and beyond !!

                    I do this for my children, my grandchildren, my health, my peace of mind, and mostly for the opportunity to learn to live with my true, unfiltered, clear-headed, vulnerable self.

                              I have been doing some work in a local hospice, it certainly puts thing into perspective.
