Today is day nine of no alcohol. I can't believe it. I feel well mentally and physically. I am ready for this challenge. I know I have a long way to go but feel I made a positive start. It is so amazing not to drink or even think about it. I still haven't told too many people and no one noticed I'm not drinking. I don't want to make anyone uncomfortable. Getting a lot done every day and I feel satisfied at the end of the day. It's a nice feeling. My small support network is very encouraging and this forum is a blessing. Thanks to all of you.

You are doing AMAZING!!! Keep it up...we are so proud of you!
It's funny how nobody really notices what we're doing, or not doing. As alcoholics we are so absorbed in ourselves that we think the world revolves around us, come to find out...it doesn't! Nobody really cares if we're drinking or not.
Stick close to us and stay strong...you CAN do this! :l:heart:I love my daughter more than alcohol:heart:
Believe in yourself. You are stronger than you think.Comment

Starting Day 9
K9 your right. No one cares. But I like that. It's my private battle with the help of a few friends. I have a big family party coming up in March and all my cousins and their kids will be having a few. I bet no one but my brother notices I don't and I didn't tell him I quit and he won't say anything. Knows how much I value my privacy That's why I'm apprehensive about the shrink. But don't worry I'll do it. You people on the forum know more about my drinking and quitting than most people around me. I told a long time student of mine who I gig with a lot and he calls me every day to offer encouragement and see how I'm doing. He's like a son to me and I know his calls are genuine concern for me and my problem. Oh well as long as the people who matter care that's all right with me. Thanks to everyone and good luck.Comment

People on this forum are the only ones who I talk to about this! I don't even talk to my husband about it. Except to tell him to stop offering me a sip of his drink. Once I let loose with a few dumb things I've done while drunk and heard a chorus of "me too," I felt safe here. People in real life now know that I don't drink. They think it's for medical reasons which in a way I guess it is.Comment

My wife has been a big help. I don't think she has had a drink since our honeymoon. She never had a problem just didn't like the taste or feeling. She's put up with my drinking but never really knew how much I drank at certain times in my life until I told her last week. She was horrified and couldn't believe she didn't notice. As I,ve said before I never really got drunk just sipped all day. On the weekends I'd drink less because she was home and I had someone to hang out with and on gigs I controlled my drinking because I had a show to do. I never messed a show up because of alcohol. Then I'd go home,she'd be asleep and I'd drink some more. Glad that life's over.Comment
