    Almost a Week AF! Holy (*(*!

    Hey Newbies,

    Just want to share my elation, glee, surprise, amazement that as of today I have not had a drink for one week.

    I seriously cannot remember the last time this happened.

    I am not minimizing when I say it was due to the support and advice I received from this community. And it gave me someplace to roam when my mind kept saying, "When are you going to have a drink? Is it time for a drink now? Gee, there's a bottle of XX down there. A little drink would be fine, just a half glass..."

    I am so grateful for this week of freedom.

    It has not been an easy one, but I feel so good to have my mental clarity and full recollection of all of the minutes in the last 7 days.

    If I can do it, anyone can. Really. I took my bottles to recycling a few weeks ago and made $30!!! That's a heck of a lot of glass. My entire car was filled up. (It was an unmanned recycling station, otherwise I'd never have done it).

    In fact, if you want motivation to assess your drinking habits, I'd suggest doing just that. Save all of your old bottles and take them in to recycle them. Seeing them all stacked up was unbelievable. There were so many. I felt sad and embarassed for myself.

    Anyway, I'm just glad to have made it a week. I don't know what the future holds, but I do know that I can at least go one week. And it feels good.

    Life is just a set of weeks stacked one after the other right? Someday i will get this right.

    Hope yall had a great weekend.

      Excellent Groovychick! The first week is so great, isn't it? You made me laugh thinking about recycling the bottles. Me, I used to perform engineering feats "cushioning" my bottles so as not to produce too many rattles and clinks on trash day. I could not bear to have the recycling personnel see them.

      Congrats,

                  Takes guts and determination. Well Done. I cant wait to get all the things I need to start. I'm not drinking at the moment, just recovering from a shocking weekend. Can't wait to get started. I hope it works for me. I'm going to give it all I got.

                      Tomorrow I'll be going to sell all the glass collected in this house! Let you know how much I make!

                          :rockband: The rock band is singing a celebration song just for you GC!!! 1 week is an awesome accomplishment. The icing on the cake is how up beat you sound about the whole thing. YIKES on the recycling things. My empties are mostly out of here by now, but I can only imagine what a mountain of friggin' glass that would be. Probably would be considered a hazzardous waste dump if I had even a few months worth of them here.

                          You GO GC!! I'm gonna look in the drink tracker to make sure you collected your 7 gold stars.
