Anyone in the First Week of Their Unpteenth Quit?

[daisy45]

Thank you guys....gonna get going again!
If I can just get 2 weeks I know from before that it gets easier.
Summer is a tough time to do it but also the reason I need to do it now. Can only imagine the mess I would be in by September.

Hey guys,hope everyone had a good 4th,Daisy,you can do this, I know you wanted July first,but I think July 5 has a good ring to it Bandit,aces on 10 days! I love double digits, it flies after that watching fireworks last night, my neighbor lady kept asking why I wasn't drinkin, I just told her I have Louie today and cannot be hungover, she says"you don't have to get wild with it,just one" hah!! If only I could drink like she does,I wouldn't even be on MWO,I wouldn't be trying to slay a persistent dragon,ho-hum,I said on the daily thread I should've just filled one of hub's empties with water and pretended I was drinkin, who'd have known? I still laughed,I still let off a few fireworks, I still had fun,hello to all,hope everyone has a great Sunday

Hi everyone! Heading home from the bbq. Just as expected tons of booze. Glad I'm well into my quit. No temptation. Whew!

Hope you are all having a great day!

Hey Ginger! I met you through MWO last year on the Nest. I then dumped it all promising to come back and wow... a whole, sloppy crazy year ensued before I jumped back here and sobered up. I'm on day 2 and ready to go like my life depends on it...which it does. I'm happy you kept going! Good job. I now go by LuckyMe, but last time it was Ja. Glad to be back and glad so many of you are still here! I'm into my 4th can of seltzer and feeling pretty damn gooooood.

Howdy ho quitters!

Ginger, anyone ever tell you You_Rock_Emoticon.gif!

LuckyMe, :welcome: This is a great place with a great group of quitters!

BG, pop in whenever you get the chance! I know you must be excited seeing your brother and family, enjoy your visit! I haven't seen my younger only remaining brother since mom's funeral 2 1/2 years ago, but will get to see him and his family August Long at a family reunion.

Liz, not sure if you have any internet access on that cruiseship, but if there is, check in when you can! We're all thinking of you and rooting for you

Hope the rest of you quitters (lots of us now and I like it) got through the weekend safe and sound? We had a good weekend at the farm, got all the vegetable pruning done in the solarium/greenhouse, and got the 6 new posts in the ground for the new rail fencing at the gateway. And this morning we picked 1/2 gal of saskatoon berries in just 20 minutes! Going to be a bumper crop of them this year! Life is indeed good my friends! Have a safe one my friends!

So inspiring reading all the posts, AF now for over a week, feeling good, tired but good. :hug:

Not avoiding you good folks here, just a little busy. Posting daily in the nest, hope to get more active this week.

Just had a quick read after finishing work for the night. Will have more time tomorrow to post - this long weekend has been a bit hectic with taking on extra work and family time. Feeling better than I expected, just fatigued with slight headache now, but I was pretty happy today. Night all.

[daisy45]

Grateful to wake up to a sober day 2!
I like the 24hour thread....just commit to a day.....takes the pressure off a bit.

Hi all,

Very quick check in from me as I have a ton of stuff to get done today.

Yeah, ODAT is very much what is working for me at the moment - just get through the next 24 hours

Have a great Monday everyone

Hi - good weekend. Won 1st gross in our flite in golf tourney. Team of 4 got $100. Fun! Then a big lunch complete with apple pie. Came home expecting to get ready for big night party. Been there b4, one time during a quit and was bored to death (my fault for feeling no fun w/o drinking). So admit I really wasn't feeling like going. Well, when dh woke up Sat am he said "I just want to sleep". And then he played great golf. Came home to watch PGA in bed, fell asleep, & I could not wake him up. Well, ok, didn't try super hard. He slept until 6p, time party started. A storm hit; we stayed home. Whew!

Sleep is so much better this time around. Makes a huge difference!

Hey, Knitty good job. And Daisy, just start over. No worries. And agree with you on the ODAT.

Wishing everyone a good week! Or should say day. A good Monday!

Happy Monday all. Quick check in.

Hello to all the new quitters!

Group is getting big. I will try and post more later. Just wanted to say hello all x

[Ginger999]

Ja!! (luckyme), Welcome back. I was just looking at my list of friends I've made here and was sad that I lost touch with you. You were close enough that I thought we could meet up for coffee some time! Maybe we will some day. So glad you are back. Stay close, you can do this! PM me anytime!

Our group is growing! That's awesome. Glad you all have found our humble thread and hope you can stick around for awhile.

Sounds like we all made it through the weekend pretty well. The most important thing for me while I was away was sneeking a little time to read the threads. I know that's not always possible but if you get to feeling weak and can find the chance, check in. Just a quick read will make you feel like you aren't alone in your quit. Someone is always around!

We are leaving Friday for a week up at Deer Lake. Lots to get done before we leave. This is a big family gathering and should be great fun. Lots of gkids and great nieces/nephews! This will be a little hard for Mom though as all her daughters will be away at the same time. We asked her to come with us but she wouldn't hear of it. We'd love to take her on one last trip but she's not a qypsy like me (at all) and it's not going to happen. She won't be alone while we are away but she still doesn't like all of us to be gone like this.

Better get on my way to walk Ginger before it gets too hot for her tootsies!!
