Good morning! On to day 4 and feeling good!

[sheshe]

I just wanted to post a quick note before I'm out the door! I've got a busy, busy day ahead and probably won't stop before 11:00 tonight. Made it through day 3 with no probs, day 4 today - whoohoo, no hangover, feeling great! Shew, it's such a relief. It's funny, I only really seem to have a problem when I'm stuck at home with nowhere to go and nothing to do except CLEAN! Ya know, I think there's a lot of stuff tied up in that and I'm going to do some thinking on it and figure out a way to deal with it WITHOUT drinking! I may have to face some really unpleasant feelings, UGH!

Anyway - hope everyone is doing well! And a happy Saturday to everyone!

Yes, thoroughly agree sheshe...........cleaning is but a necessary evil (read it and weep, Boys!!!! LOL).........get yourself an enjoyable hobby to pass your former drinking time.

Congrats on reaching Day 4. More power to you.

It sure is tough, but then, so are we !!!!

Well done She!! And DG, you are right, find fun things to do with your new found sober time.

I bought a motorbike and learnt to ride it at the age of 42! I also spend a lot of time reading and learning about myself. Time very well spent, and it continues to be that way. I am finally finding out who I am, without blocking it all out with the drink. And guess what, I like me now!!!

Keep up the great work!

Take a look at the photo gallery to see me, and my bike - I started riding that two weeks after I got my learner's permit!!!

Flip, that is so awesome that you found a hobby to be passionate about in your 40's!!! I'm 49 - but maybe there is still hope for me. Something that is just totally ME and rocks my world. It will be fun searching anyway.

Sorry for the threadjack - but I do think realizing that there is an EXCITING LIFE waiting for us outside of the bottle is an important motivator - especially in the early or rough times.

Thread hijacking

:hijacked: Sorry about the thread! lol

DG, thats exactly what I did - found something so totally different and daring and exciting to do. It had changed my life so much for the better.

I had always said I wanted to ride a bike and never done it, so when I started getting sober I thought, what the heck, just do it!

Some people think I'm nuts because it's so dangerous, but I know for sure that it's saved my life.

One of my best friends now is 61 and got her licence a year ago, so you are NEVER to old for something new.

And Starlight, whatever a wee feartie is, be a do bee, not a don't bee!

Yeah Flip,
Well am gonna get that book Kitty and some of you others are talking about.........guess I`m just another person who has been brain washed into being a don`t bee, i.e. "a wee feartie".

Still, can`t imagine I`d ever have the balls to ride a motorbike though.......well, O.K..........maybe pillion if there`s a mighty handsome chap keeping "the thing" under control !!! LOL
