30 days???

Morrison... well, I have to say, our group is privileged to have you with us (I feel privileged!) as I can see your strength and what you've done to date. Welcome aboard the 30 day team!

Day 4 for me today. Tomorrow is Friday and I'm going to my sisters place for the night. She's having a girlfriend over for 'a few drinks' and she's asked me if that's ok. I've told her that yes it's fine, so it'll be good practice and starting point for me to gather strength in the social situation for politely refusing... and then still having a bloody great time (better time!). So I'm mentally preparing myself for the first AF weekend now... it's all good

We can do it...I have Oyster fest this weekend...which normally goes so well with wine, but not this time.

30 days???

I dumped the nice bottle of red..cleaning the pop filled kitchen till midnight was too much not to open it. So I opened the bottle..played with the cork, even leaned over and smelt it for a minute. The closed my eyes and put the bottle in the sink till it all ran down the pipes. Gritted my teeth and put the bottle in the garbage... If I didn't it was going in a glass for me to drink as I re-cleaned. I forgot my girlfriend in Paris is coming over today with her little boy who is close to 2..he can't run in pop either.

I'm so tired. Between cleaning that late and my baby girl up a few times because of her teeth my eyes are blood shot and I look like I have been drinking all night..

:H at least you wouldn't feel like you've been up all night. Wow... good on you GG. That is good stuff.

The other night Mr Doo was having a beer (beer doesn't bother me, but I've asked him not to bring wine home... my weakness) I leaned across the table and caught a waft of it... I really felt like chugging it back there and then... and I don't even really like beer! Ahhh I guess these little triggers are meant to test us and make our will power stronger.

You're doing so well GG. I'm proud of you and proud of myself too

30 days???

Threw down a bottle of wine myself last night, but not without have a few glasses first. I'm disappointed BUT having a few glasses is better than my usual 6-9. Today I'll try AF again...and admire all of you who are doing so well, including Morrison!

Good Afternoon everyone - day 4 for me and well done GG and all the others to - we are doing well - I could how ever throw a few back myself tonight, got a few problems to deal with but as I have learnt in the last 35 days drinking will only add to them - so here I sit with my legs crossed on the floor feeling very sorry for myself but sober that is the good thing - SO I AM TO VERY PROUD OF MYSELF - THanks to you all, with out you I would be dancing on some table somewhere in some pub having a great time - but not remembering it tomorrow morning holding my head and saying never again.

Have not even changed the mood thingy - I am drained!!!!

30 days???

Excellent idea!!

Great idea guys to jump in here to support each other. Thanks for everybody that has helped me, I'm just starting to feel better after my slip. My God, I used to behave like that ALL THE TIME. I was feeling like shit up until yesterday, from drinking ONE day(Sunday.) I'm definitely here to go 30 with all of you. I know some are ahead, and some behind, but it doesn't matter folks. Lets do this. Lets keep this thread alive with our every day successes. :goodjob:

GG

Big kudos to you GG. That is the EXACT type of thing that would test my resolve. Even though I take the Campral, which is a miracle for the cravings, there are still triggers like that. If you can pass these tests, you can get through anything. Way to recognize the trigger, and win on that one. There was a demon spirit watching you, laughing, thinking he had you beat, and you mocked him by pouring out that bottle. Way to go.

PS - I'm not some freak that truly believes a demon spirit is in GG's kitchen, waiting to unleash his wrath with spilled soda and wet curtains. It was just a metaphor.

30 days???

I think that demon was in my kitchen, hiding in my Pepsi bottle...I heard something before that said "Of course there is a devil, who else tickles your nose when your hands are full of packages"

My other friend from Paris today brought me over a bottle today too.. (my head is in my hands).. I don't know if I can knock this one. I really don't. That's the way it is here, you go to someone's house; you bring flowers or wine, or both.

30 days???

GG, I always heard that there was a lot of drinking in France. Don't your friends realize you want to stop? Or didn't you tell anybody? I would hope they would support you and not actually bring you wine.

Oh damn. I'm stalking you today I guess. Yesterday it was Luvuall. What the hell is wrong with me?!!
