Its about one week now that I have been coming to this forum, actually started a while ago but stopped . I am Wanting an AF life. When I think about It, I mean really think about it my heart starts to pound,I can't tell if it scares me or excites me. The message to the brain is scared!! I am setting a goal!! I have cut back on the amount I consume over the last week, with the exception of Sat night. Felt like a sick bag of nerves yesterday!! I had 2 glasses of wine last night, it was all I wanted. That is pretty good for me, usually it's the whole bottle!! I feel better this am. I will be 40 years young 11/19, or could say I'll be 30 with ten years of experience, I just have a hard time remembering the experience because it has been along time without a drink!!. For my 30th birthday I ran A marathon, 26.2 miles....seems like nothing in comparison with quiting drinking.
My goal for my 40 th is a month AF. So today is the 15th,I will officially start on the 19th . If it happens sooner... so be it!! I will need tobe strong!! I am going to try a different approach hoping it works for my mind. I am going to look at being sober as a new high!! After reading the threads from those of you who have achieved AF it sounds as though you have found a new life!! Congrats on that and that is all I want for my Bday... freedom!! Thanks for your words of encouragement thus far!! Anyone got any good mantras?? I do well with those.Thanks Tammy
