Need some buddies - Day 1 today 24th July

Hello Everyone,

Just about to head to bed, but before shutting my "sober" eyes and counting down another AF Day. I thought to see how we are all doing. LilyRose, how are feeling? Hi Amelia, hope you are doing well. I do have a great story to share and will post it tomorrow, it's regarding the update of my boyfriend who was "supposed" to join with in being AF.

Anywho, I am really tired but again just wanted to let you know that my thoughts and prayers are with you.


Lots of big hugs,
Janet

Hey Wakeupmom!! I am here.....are you ok? I think I may feel what you mean by 'I need you here',....I have found this thread very useful and inspiring. However, when it seemed a lot of us had a slip, I didn't come here as often. Is that what you mean?? Planet Janet, would love to hear what you are referring to with regards to 'the update of my boyfriend who was "supposed" to join with in being AF.
Resolute- Two days!! Awesome.
Hey Lily Rose, I see you are at day 2 TOOOOOO!! Hey girl, that is fabulous progress (I haven't done that again yet) I am really jealous. Keep it up. x

To everyone else I haven't mentioned this time - hope you are doing well.

Hello all,

Hope you are all doing ok.
Just wanted to share some good news,.....
recently joined a gym (over a month ago actually), but have only just gone in for the first time today to have a 'Bupa' health check. Blood pressure, heartrate, lung capacity, limb strength, body fat (bmi), flexibility etc.
I was SOOOO worried before I went, I was actually breaking out in a sweat as I got to the gym.
But. The fitness instructor did all the tests and I am in excellent health, etc etc.
I am really happy. I was a bit paranoid that because I have spent a good number of years drinking too much that it would 'show up'.
He said he was impressed, considering I currently do no exercise.
I was really pleased. Proceeded to do a 20 min run (which completely knackered me!!)

Oh, little steps, but good ones.

Amelia Hi,
It was so good to see you posting again-i have missed you!,It was great to hear you have joined the gym,and you are fit as a fiddle.Engoy,Engoy.I did manage to go the 6 days A/F with another crew,but out of the blue came an opportunity to spend a week end away with my sisters,which was fab, but not so good,in the alcohol dept.So now i am struggling again to find the head strong me to pull myself up.Can't believe what a demond this is.
Keep dragging up the past life.The break up of my marriage the boyfriend who let me down.Excuses.I willl get my head around it. Its so true when they refer to the alcoholc turn on swich.
Anyway please keep me updated on your progress.Am sooo pleased for you.xxxx
Also Lillyrose thinking of you too,Don't leave xxxx
And any one else who hasn't been around for a while and does not know where to begin xxxxxx

Hi Wakeupmom,

great to see you posting too!!! I am not quite as fit as a fiddle (gymwise), just apparently fit and healthy for my age (so says Bupa Insurance).
Congrats on your six days!!! Don't underestimate the value of having done that.
As far as I am concerned, spending time with my family (as much as I love them) is always a trigger to drink. Plus my dad (especially) enjoys a drink or few.
I do agree with you, as many others here, that drink is a demon.
But as you said in your post, a marital breakup and partners that have let us down are hugely painful experiences,...and even so you have still managed to get some AF time in and that is great.

Thinking of you Wakeupmom. Perhaps we should go AF together and see how that goes??
I have a birthday party this weekend, but would be happy to start Monday. How does that work for you?
Keep me posted.
