Hi, lonestar. Welcome and good job on your first post ever.

I'm in!

The timing is perfect. I also started on Wednesday with intention of doing one week, ideally two though. After doing well for a number of weeks, I started to slide lately and tumbled on Monday.

Anyway, what is the 21-day plan for the CDs?

I listened to the subliminal CD today.

Hi all -its Friday and the beginning of the weekend. My Friday will be AF ( but I slipped last night ...) So Saturday will be my challenge, I have a 1 day on one day off pattern established. I had a bad day yesterday - and I then used that as an excuse to buy a bottle of wine...Still - get back on the bike and ride !!! Pop

Yes, just get back on Poppy. This is day 3 of the week for me. I've often done lots of AF days during the week but weekend AF is new for me. Hope to check in this weekend.

I like the ploy of putting the pyjamas on to stop you going out to the store cuckoosnest! Any one have any other avoidance tactics to share?

Hi All & Newbies too: I'm doing well. We're having some friends for dinner tonight, & the wife in the couple is a drinker. We're going to open a bottle of wh. wine (my favorite), but I've stocked up on plenty of soda for me. I'm not thinking ahead to the dinner & will take it one minute at a time. I've been sober since Sept. 24th & don't want to spoil it this weekend. Tomorrow night we're invited to a friends, & they drink, so I'll be surrounded by alcohol Fri. & Sat. If I get through Fri. & Sat., I can get through anything. Let's stick together. Mary

Let's both do a AF Friday poppy, I slipped last night watching football, but at least I stopped before I drank everything in the house. This will be the first weekend that I am really going to try.

retteacher, it sounds like you have a couple of difficult evenings ahead of you but it also sounds like you are approaching it with the right mindset. It is now day 4 for me and if I can get through tonight it will be day 5 and the first time in years I didn't drink on a Friday. I am so tired from lack of sleep that I can barely type. I think I might go make dinner and a cup of tea and make it an extremely early night tonight. Wish everyone the best through the weekend.

Hi Everyone: I didn't make it through last night wo/a drink. I can't have an open bottle of wine in the fridge. It's just too much temptation for me. I'll have to start my AF week today. I only had 3 glasses which is very good for me. I'm trying not to be too hard on myself, but I am disappointed. Mary

retteacher, its progress just to have some left in the fridge, I think I can speak for many that the temptation once started was to drink everything in the house. Taday is a new day!

Good morrning, all. Well I slipped last night. I can't say I'm very pleased with myself but I'm also trying not to be too hard on myself either. I look at it like I didn't have a drink for 4days and I'll just hop back on the wagon. I just hope that one day I can confidently say that I have beaten this thing. For all of you who made it through my sincerest congratulations to you.

Hi Everyone: I thank you all for the encouragement. Let's stick together & get through tonight. We're having dinner w/friends, & I will try hard not to drink. I have more control when I'm at another person's home. Mary

retteacher, I'm having dinner with my niece tonight but she is a non-drinker so I don't think my evening will be as difficult as yours to get through. According to your earlier post the people you will be dining with are drinkers so that will make it harder to abstain. I will try hard to get through tonight w/o a drink and I hope you can too. The one thing I promise is that I will not quit trying to beat this. I quit smoking 7 years ago and it took me numerous times of trying before I did it and that is how I am going to approach this. If I fail then the only thing for me to do is try again and again until I succeed. Enjoy dinner and wishing you strength to get through the evening.
