Dumped it

[wwbarb]

Okay - I just dumped out the rest of my scotch. Don't be that impressed - it was only enough for one more drink. There's beer in the house, but beer tastes like crap to me on topa. So, today is day one.

I know that I need to get through 10 days to get the booze out of my system and get rid of this physical depression. It's not going to go away until my system is all cleaned out.

Last time, I made it 72 days. All in all, the last few weeks of moderation haven't been too bad but I'm tired of these sad, lonely, unproductive days. I didn't feel this way when I wasn't drinking, so I am going to give it another shot. I'm much stronger and happier than this.

So here I go - wish me luck.

Wishing you well Barb. It is baffling isn't it why when we feel so good not drinking we con ourselves into thinking we want to drink? 72 days is amazing. You will do it again......

Good for you Barb. 72 days is great. Let's start over. You can do it. You did it before. I think When you said " I didn't feel this way when I wasn't drinking" speaks volumes. Try to remember you said that when it gets a little tough. We're here for you...

My first stint was 45 days and every day was a struggle. My second ended with a long weekend trip. I wasn't even really looking forward to getting started again.

Thanks for your encouragement.

I'll need some of it about 8:00 tonight - thanks GG!

Just keep telling yourself it is worth it - it is worth it - it is worth it. What will it solve to have a drink? Absolutely nothing! What are the rewards for not having a drink?

A good night sleep
I'll get up in the morning want to work out
I'll be proud of myself
In ten days, my body will be clean and it will be behind me.
Think of all the money I'll save!

It helps to be cheap.

I do drink scotch and soda - my soda comes in metal cans. Somehow, I manage to choke that down.

I'll be joining the 30 day thread soon.

Barb I have never made it to 72 days, I have not even made it to 10 in a row!

I have 15 out of 18 days right now- that's the way I am looking at it, way better than ever before. If I said I was at day one again it would just crush me.

Just jump back on, you obviously can do it. :h
