        Hi All.....went to the dentist today because I had a loose crown. He pulled the crown off and was messing around with the tooth and broke a post off that was anchoring the crown. He couldn't get the broken piece out so he referred me to a specialist. I went there and he xrayed it and said he could get it out but didn't have time today because it will take 1 1/2 hours. So I have an appt. tomorrow at 2:45 to get it done.......for $489 plus $790 for a new crown! It was originally going to be $125 at my dentist to fix it before he broke the damn post off! Don't you just love it?

        As soon as I walked out of the specialist's office The Beast was on my ass...saying, "you need a drink....you deserve a drink after this"......rotten bastard. I said to myself, "nice try Beast...nice fucking try....but forget it.....it's not going to happen..."

        Dirty rotten son of a bitch will hit you when you're down.

        Instead, I went to the gym and ran for 30 minutes. I felt so much better afterward. Just think how I would have felt if I would have caved and drank for that 30 minutes instead. I probably could have slammed down 3 or 4 beers in that time and then I would have been so pissed at myself for caving I would have slammed another 8 or so and been miserable....

        I'm so glad I did what I did......

        I really like not drinking...

        Day 11 done.

        Hang in there everyone and keep your guard up. Don't let the bastard sucker you in.

        I'm proud of all of you on your AF days......let's all keep it going and do it together.

        See you tomorrow....

        Don

          Nice going Chief. Kudos on lasting it out man! Any opportunity and that beast, that slithering seductress .... We're very proud of you, glad for you. Still have my fog lights on though I've fallen behind a bit. We always have the choice to be an inspiration or a lesson and you're definitely the former.

            Hey all,sorry about the tooth Don,i hate the dentist,too expensive,but shoot don't want to be toothless right?good on the 11 days i'm still coasting along,a bit grouchy but i think that's from other stuff,also having a bit of anxiety,but again i think it's from other stuff,the only thing good from a relapse is it refreshes in your mind that this shit's not for me,but i know sometimes the longer i go i conveniently forget how shitty it is,really trying to keep this fresh in my mind,the isolation from family,the not remembering,the wasted money,days taken off from work,the scrambling to find a beer,the detox,sweating,tossing and turning,googling alcohol withdrawal for the zillionth time,fuck that!! hope everyone has a good sober friday
            I have too much shit to do today and tomorrow to drink:sohappy:

            I'm taking care of the "tomorrow me":thumbsup:
            Drinkin won't help a damn thing! Will only make me sick for DAYS and that ugly, spacey dumb feeling-no thanks!

              Here I am at day one again. I didn't sleep at all, I picked up cigarettes and posted like a lunatic in the wee hours. Now I'm sitting here at work tired and in pain, not sure if I'm going to throw up but not quite sure I won't. I've been waffling with drinking, figured I needed at least 2 weeks to a month clean and sober before I could try drinking normally. In the end that idea of 'drinking normally' is nothing more than a stall that cripples my attempts.

              No more day 1s.

                Day 12 is done and everything is good today......went to the gym and swam for 40 minutes. I'm drinking a lot of water and vegetable juice everyday and I think that and excercise really helps. I feel good.

                Have a good night everyone....

                      Sorry about the tooth chief. So glad you didn't cave to the cravings. Gee shouldn't your dentist give you some sort of discount on account he broke it? Everybody wants our money, that's for sure.
                      I'm feeling a bit anxious today too Pauly. It's always worse in the mornings for me. Well off to start my day
